I've read through a few of these threads and couldn't agree more with what you are all saying about how panic attacks affect you. Getting out of the front door requires more courage than I have. I can get into our car and be driven somewhere but if it is not a door to door job and I have to get out and walk anywhere my confidence goes to zilch. Last week I had a massive attack in the town where I grew up, we had to go down to see my ill cousin and needing to buy a new address book we stopped off first to go into Smiths. Where I have been many many times in the past. Not a good idea. The eyes went into tunnel vision and I started to shake and sweat. It was all I could do to get back to the car even with hubby by my side. Trouble is I just want to scream at him to move! when it happens as although he is very understanding, he has never suffered them.
They are just so debilitating and depressing, and never ending. Yes, I've tried all the pills etc and nothing has worked. I find that Kalms tablets take the edge off them sometimes though. Sometimes I completely despair, as I know I will never have a normal life. My first attack was about 20 years ago and they just progressed from bad to worse to the present state which is unbearable. I feel locked in with no escape from them ever.
