Hello everyone

Posted by Joey on 6/2/2008, 8:40 pm

Hi, I'm Joey, 27 year old male. I started having terrible panic attacks when I was 18. They've been off and on over the years, but after 5 years of not a trace of anxiety, they're back! and terrible as I remember them. I'm getting them everyday, and they're so debilitating it makes me cry just thinking about having to go through the next one. I was really hoping to find a support group in the city, but apparently there isn't one. If anyone would like someone to talk to about this stuff, I would love to have someone to talk to. I live on the north side of the city, bucktown. NO ONE understands how scary this is. They tell me they THINK they've had one before. I had one the other day (the first one in 5 years) that was so bad I called 911 twice, actually saw a hallucination, and it lasted about 3 hours. I must have looked like a lunatic walking around my neighborhood, stumbling, one hand on my neck feeling my pulse, the other hand either down my pants or psychotically messing up my hair, intermittently gasping for breath.. I need help.
