I just had the worst panic attack I've ever experienced. It was absolutely horrible, my entire body was tingling like when your hand falls asleep, including my eyes and my face, I was hyperventilating, crying, chest hurt, slurring my words, my tongue would not function, I was extremely light headed and it lasted forever. I tried to wait it out like I always do but it just never stopped, only got worse. I called my dad crying and freaking out, because I felt as though I was going to loose consciousness at any minute or die or something and asked him whether I should go to the hospital or not. I didn't have any klonopin here to help me either.
Honestly his calm voice of telling me not to go to the hospital and that everything was going to be fine pissed me off. I don't know why, but it just did. He kept asking stupid questions and at one point I screamed into the phone JUST FUCKING TELL ME WHETHER OR NOT TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL!! It took about 10 minutes but I did calm down. This panic attack lasted about 20 minutes, and my body is still tingling.
God it felt horrible, I haven't cried in years and all of a sudden I was almost sobbing. I can't take emotional pain AT ALL, I have no fucking idea what to do when I experience it and it has been the cause of 3 out of the 4 times I have been admitted to psychiatric hospitals.
The one drug that does help me cope with it are the benzodizepines, but they are so addictive that I don't want to get hooked on them again. (See drug thread when I was eating 20-30mgs + of klonopin, or 10-20mgs of Xanax almost daily.)
If I have to feel the way I do I don't fucking care, I will be addicted, I have learned all different techniques of dealing with emotional turmoil but none have been successful.
I swear I'm never going to get into a relationship again...
Anybody have any suggestions?
