panic attacks anyone?😕

Question

This morning for about an hour and a half I couldn't stop crying and couldn't breath. I had work at 9 and my boyfriend begged me to stay home. I'm thinking definitely was having an anxiety attack, which never happens to me. Anyone else going through this? Did I make the wrong decision by staying home from work? I am currently 11 weeks 3 days

Answer

I have had about 7 panic attacks in the last 10 years, doesn't saying kiek a lot but it feels like it and it's very scary. Depending on the reason and severity of the attack I think maybe going to work would of been a great distraction. Laying in bed beating yourself up definitely isn't helping, going about your day and pushing through sometimes can help. Since your gone, try a warm bath, some meditation, do your. Eat to relax and push the reset button. Good luck momma, take care of yourself.

Answer

Panic disorder here. Phone midwife and tell them. Staying home was smart.

Answer

I used to have them frequently, like 3 times a week and I found that keeping a routine helped me overcoming them better than allowing my irrational fears to prevent me from a normal life. My thing used to be supermarkets, I would have a panic attack after 5 mm during grocery shopping, the lights, the noise, the people, the exposure... Then I started being afraid of grocery stores to the point where I asked my friends or mom to pick up stuffs me... At 25 yo !! One day I realized how dangerous this path will be and I forced myself to keep a normal life and deal with anxiety. Now I am perfectly fine. So if you have another one before going to work, don't allow your brain to assimilate your work place with anxiety and just go to work !

Answer

Before pregnancy I had never had a panic attack. I honestly thought it was a little crazy hearing stories about them ( I know shame on me)
Since I've been pregnant anytime it storms if I'm not near my husband I go crazy. Than there's been a few other little random things that have made me freak out. I feel terrible thinking about it now. But over the weekend I was at babies r us with my mom. She will be watching our baby when I return back to work. I've been very dominant about going back to work even though my husband would prefer that I stay home. Anyway I'm getting some of the items that are on my need to get list and she starts telling me she doesn't like the halo swaddles that she'll just swaddle them with a Muslim swaddle blanket. I kid you not I started arguing with her about safety and went into a full panic attack right there than almost passed out.

There's been a couple of times where I've gotten really hot than passed out. Twice at my OB office and my Dr said if I think that something could trigger it stay home. The stress isn't good on the baby much less freaking your self out to the point of passing out.
