Feeling despair + having frequent panic attacks.?

I have been taking the IB course for a year now, and whilst everyone around me is complaining that its “stressing them out” I feel its the only thing keeping me sane.

I spend from 7:15 – 4:30 constantly working. I try to avoid Lunch breaks at all costs. I just keep working on and on and on… However, when I get home, I feel in a constant state of despair.

I walk aimlessly from room to room. I don’t know what to do! I can’t seem to get ANY work done at all!!! I can’t even remember what I did between 6:00pm – 4:30am.

As a result, I often find myself going through Obsessive Compulsive panic attacks. Sometimes repeating the same thing over and over till I get it right and sometimes re-organizing the house to the tiniest detail. Occassionally I get so distraught that I just do something random or destructive to let loose my aggravation.

I often find that I cry myself to sleep trying to let loose my complete frustration over my seemingly inescapable situation.

You need to see a doctor immediately. I suffered for years with panic attacks in many different forms until I suffered an attack where I couldn’t catch my breath while driving my children. The best and most difficult thing I did was go to my very understanding doctor who listened to me for nearly 2 hours (and cancelled all his other appts). I cried, laughed, and let it all out. I have been on medication for over 3 years now (paxil) and feel a million times better. I still had a few panic attacks occassionally but nothing like the first ones. you must seek a doctor’s help. It doesn’t mean you are crazy you may just have a chemical imbalance. Good Luck. and remember there are a lot of people in the same situation.

I am single mum. I have been suffering for panic attacks for some 15 years now, though it was not until recently I understood what they were. They were progressively getting stronger and more frequent, stopping me from some days even leaving my house. I read this book and it all made perfect sense.

I am not saying I was not terrified of putting theory to action, I was more scared of that than the next attack! But I decided to view it as a game, one I had control of and could therefore not lose!
