Panic Attack Excessively Gone too far

I'd like to say, "Thank you" for welcoming me to the community. I appreciate everyone who has taken the time to read and advise. I have tried talking to different mental health practitioners and unfortunately, none of them have been able to figure me out. I had a psychiatrist that I really trusted for 15 years and then he moved out of state and now I just bounce around without any connection. He did have my panic attacks under control for many years and I have felt rejected by everyone else. I experienced extreme panic attacks when my potassium was at it's lowest 2.7 and I just want to encourage everyone that sometimes it's not just all in your head. There is a valid reason for what is happening to you...to answer the question, I don't have any physical pain and I definitely am open to advice...just scared that's all..

Hi There , I know how scared you are ! I know bc I've lived with the curse of SEVERE panic attacks and EXTREME generalized anxiety my entire life . It has prevented me from experiencing so much . My husband passed away 3 yrs ago very quickly from liver cancer. He was my safe person . My fear has always been that I will be alone unable to function or take care of my children alone or that he wld die . Well , he died... He didn't have life insurance and literally left me and my twins ( they were 14) My grief has been unimaginable as is my fear and anxiety every single day. I'm a special education teacher with a Master's degree. I was working and subsequently doing sooo much better bf this COVID NIGHTMARE ... I do have a psychiatrist and psychologist that I adore and trust . The meds help but nothing takes away the sadness or all of my anxiety. I hear you and I'm soooo sorry you have to live with this curse as well. I do think finding a really good psychiatrist helps however, I know how difficult it can be . I take effexor ER and prozac , klonopin for BREAK TBROUGH PANIC . I wanted you to know I know scary it is . Unfortunately, I have no magical answer. I hope you get on the right meds . Just rem . A panic attack can only last a certain amount of time . You will get through it . If I can ANYONE can ... God bless ❤️ Jenifer
