GUEST,Nervous Nellie BS: Need help dealing with panic attacks (75* d) RE: BS: Need help dealing with panic attacks 03 Mar 10


Oops!

OK, folks, get a grip--Panic Attacks are not life threatening--no need for an ER visit, in fact, it is a very bad idea.

Health care professionals are scared to death of people who are exhibiting panic/anxiety symptoms, and tend to use extreme measures. Law enforcement sometimes get involved, and someone who could be calmed down with a few gentle words, a cup of tea, and a comfy chair in a quiet corner is confronted and starts waving their arms and screaming. And then it's time for deadly force. If you think I'm kidding, check the paper sometime.

I've been through this before, they are self-limiting--they pass over in 10-30 minutes, and you're on your way, somewhat the worse for wear.

My original question was, "anyone have any ideas on how to find someone to help me work through this?", and I'll add, someone compentent and sane, and who takes health insurance.
