Thanks again guys.
Runner, your advice has been fantastic dude, actually it's been a godsend, thank you somuch I've managed to control one part of my problems - I can control the attacks now, like when my body says it can't get enough air I can handle it, keep breathing normally and keep it under control.
The thing that bothers me now is this cloudy feel in my head that just can't get rid of. It just feels like now these anxiety attacks can't happen because I can control them, but i get this pressure in the base of my head and I feel down. The strange thing is I'm generally a very happy go lucky person but ever since this happened a few weeks ago I've become quite the opposite. To put it bluntly, my brain just feels fried. I get this dry feeling in my head while it's all going on too. I talk myself through it though I do get the odd irrational thought pattern that comes through which just isn't me, and as I said it kind of brings me down. Sometimes it feels like I'm losing myself in it all, but then I snap myself back to myself. My mouth goes all dry when it hapens and my legs kind of tense up a bit too as well as my arms... to be honest it's like my body just likes reliving my hospital experience.
Did you go through this at all too? Is this a part of the anxiety too, that will go away with time?
Perhaps it wasn't the best time to quit smoking but I did today as well, I guess that will make me feel extra anxious for a few days but I swear the nicotine was making things worse...
All I can do at the moment is take it day by day, I just want to go to bed every night hoping that tomorrow will be better.
