i can relate sa mga posts nyo.i've been experiencing them too since september of last year. i was so happy then, having a new love, new work and all when my bf got caught in an accident. thank God its nothing serious but from then on masyado na kong nagwoworry at laging takot. parang natrigger din [textspeak!] dating issues ko na naovercome ko na previously and bumalik na naman un lahat.

i started feeling sad most of the time, parang somethings holding me back from enjoying my life. minsang bigla nalang akong iiyak, maiisip ko yung mga fears ko and magkakaroon na ko ng anxiety attack.

i really want to consult a psychiatrist kasi minsan ang hirap ng icontrol. dumating na rin sa point na nakakaisip na ko na sana mamatay na ko kasi di ko na kaya. :(

i really want to get well and enjoy life. could you guys pm me information regarding your recomended psychiatrist. i would really want to consult one. TIA sisses!

nung ako depress, lahat ng bagay kinatatamaran ko, kahit pag kain di ko na nagagawa sa katamaran. Kaya lang para naman ako t*ng* kung ganun nalang lage, pinilit ko sumama sa mga outing, gala, get together kahit ala ako sa mood, tapos bigla nalang nag eenjoy na ko with my friends, unti unti nakakalimutan ko yung problems. Nagpaka busy lang ako. Para sa sarili ko. Ayoko pumanget, ayoko mag mukmok forever. kaya kahit mahirap sa simula mag panggap na masaya, eventually naging masaya din naman ako. So ngayon, im happy na, nakain na ko (matakaw na nga).. at higit sa lahat, nakalimutan ko na yung reason ng depression ko at natatawa nalang ako pag naalala ko sarili ko dati. Madami pala ako na aksaya na oras. :)

kahapon lang ako nadiagnose na may POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER. July 26 i suffered from ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome... grabe experience ko from IVF procedure. Di kinaya ng katawan ko ang fluid sa lungs and fluids sa tummy.... nakaligtas ako sa ganun situation. But in the process of my recovery i had been experiencing yung bigla ka nalang manginginig... hyperventilation... parang mamatay na ako... i feel weak but i know in general my body is strong. When i was discharged, nafifeel ko to pero nakocontrol ko. But 2 days na ngayon... paggising ko palang anjan na agad. I can't be functional at all. One month nakong naka kulong. And i lost 12 lbs already. wala akong ganang kumain... but i don't have trouble sleeping. Next week daw may therapy session ako with my psychiatrist. Binigyan ako ng Motivest once a day every morning. I only took it once pa lang.... and sabi 14 days to 1 month ko pa daw makikita ang effect... Hirap.

yes, sis. iba kasi talaga pag meron kang  anxiety/panic attacks. yung may feeling ka na parang di mo macontrol self mo tapos yung parang mababaliw ka na natetense. most of the time, nagkaka panic attack ako pag madaming tao. ewan ko nga ba't ganun kasi dati, nung wala pa akong anxiety, gusto kong gumimik, mamasyal, sumabay with friends, ganun. tapos I don't really stay at home. But starting nung nagka anxiety/panic attacks nako para nag change lahat. I seldom go out na kasi nga natatakot ako na baka biglang umatake siya while I'm in a public place. Yun talaga yung natatakot ako especially pag mag-isa lang akong umalis ng bahay. kaya most of the time, may kasama talaga ako.

hello,

a few months ago nagkaroon din ako ng panic attack. i was walking alone sa Espanya then bigla na lang nag-blank yung mind ko as if wala akong memory at di makaisip feeling ko hihimatayin ako kasi parang bigla na lang ako nawalan ng energy pero di naman ako hinimitay so i rushed immediately sa McDo just in case himatayin ako eh at least merong guard sa loob na puwede umattend sa akin.

pero di naman ako hinimatay, pag-upo ko sa McDo na feel ko na sobrang lakas ng beat ng puso ko at so uminom ako ng tubig tapos mga few seconds mag-ba-blackout uli yung mind ko then feeling ko nasisiraan na ako ng ulo pero conscious naman ako sa paligid.

After about 2 weeks while walking again this time it was evening, tapos humihingal na talaga ako dahil sa pagod eh biglang lumakas na naman yung beat ng heart ko then biglang sobrang nervous na feeling and ang sumunod eh nag-blank na naman yung mind (feel ko i'm losing my mind) and i thought hihimatayin ako tapos hind naman ako hinimatay. i just sat on a nearby bench drink water and i was feeling ok ulit hanggang makasakay ako ng bus papuntang bahay.

After those incidents medyo nagkaroon ako ng konting phobia pag nasa labas, feel ko nahihilo ako when i am in public places.

The worst attack was this MAY. even with the last two attacks, i still try to feel normal and just think na it's only in the mind. kaya nung MAY i tried to go to school ride the jeepney as i normally would, then suddenly i remembered my experience about panic attack. then naisip ko di kaya atakihin na naman ako ng panic attack dito sa loob ng jeep. After a few minutes holy crap!. Ayun na naman yung biglang "mag-ba-blank young mind ko" then feeling nervous, feeling hihimatayin. Then i tried to console myself sabi ko ulit sa sarili ko "it's only in the mind" kaya hindi pa rin ako bumaba ng jeep and tried to go home. But after about 15 minutes ayun umatake na naman, then sabi ko bababa na ako sa next crossing. unfortunately, the next crossing was the actual place where i had my first panic attack. So ayun pagka-baba ko pa lang ng jeep eh halos na trigger na naman. Pasok agad sa 7-Eleven just in case himatayin ako coz i already have that "mental black-out / blank mind episode" pero kahit na blank mind ako at feeling ko i am losing my mind i can still pull myself to 7-Eleven. pahinga ng konti sa 7-Eleven then i eventually ride the jeep papunta sa boarding house. While inside the jeep, i had an on and off panic attack mga 3 times pa yata for the next 30 minutes. it was scary because feeling ko "i am going crazy" and baka ang mangyari sunod eh talagang mabaliw ako ng tuluyan. eh ang layo pa naman ng bahay ko. i live in the province kasi and have to commute from the province going to manila. i have to ride a bus from the province going to QC then jeep naman from QC to manila going to school. i only use to boarding house to eat and take some light rest but daily ako umuuwi ng province.

after those incidents, nagkaroon na ako ng konting phobia when walking alone sa labas na walang kakikalala thinking na baka magkaroon uli ako ng panic attacks then biglang himatayin na walang mag-ti-take care sa akin. so right now i have to stop schooling muna and stay in the province.

the first few months while i was in the province, medyo OK pa ako ng konti and medyo nakakalabas pa ng walang kasama pero i already have the feeling na baka mapanic attack din ako tulad sa Manila. then this August while i was riding in a jeep napanic attack talaga ako but i did not have the "black out mind/feeling crazy/feeling losing my mind episode" i only have the super nervous feeling and rapid heartbeat episode.

ever since that episode, di na talaga ako nakalabas ng bahay na walang kasama and it made me depressed. i went to a psychiatrist with a companion kasi natatakot na ako lumabas ng bahay na walang kasama especially sa loob ng jepneey and in public places. the psych prescribed some meds.

kaya ko naman i surpase yung feeling na "aatakehin ka sa puso" during panic attack, pero and di ko talaga kaya ay yung "mental blackout na feeling mababaliw at feeling hihimatayin".

i read on the net na hindi ka naman daw mababaliw even during panic attacks because of the fact na you still have that feeling na mababaliw ka.

kasi yung mga crazy people daw, they do not know na baliw na sila. and they will not have the feeling na mababaliw sila.

^mga sis, I hope you'll all get well.  I don't know what to say or advice cause I haven't experience this but I can sympathize with you all.  I really hope you can scare the blue away.  Not everyone's bless with a happy soul but everyone can choose to be happy and fight the blue.

My love and prayers.

GT lang ng GT para meron kayong kausap at kabalitaktakan.

^What did your prescribing physician tell you about what to expect with those medications? 


"It may take between two to four weeks for the benefits of this medicine to appear, so it is very important that you keep taking it, even if it doesn't seem to make much difference at first. If you feel your depression has got worse, or if you have any distressing thoughts or feelings in these first few weeks, then you should talk to your doctor"

@kittiekatt

sorry sis hindi ako maka-PM ngayon, pero dati nakak-PM naman ako. may changes yata sa rules ng FN, kulang pa yata ang number of post ko. Anyway to answer your question. pag may times na feeling ko "mababaliw ako" and i have "the blank mind episode" i would just lie down in bed tapos itutulog ko siya. usually, pag-gising ko eh ok na naman ako.

i also have mild depression and i think ang naka-trigger dun is yung sobrang stress kasi halos wala na akong tulog eh 3 AM to 4 AM na ako matulog then gigising ng 10AM to 11AM tapos sometimes nami-miss ko pa ang breakfast ang so i only eat 2 times a day.

by the way kapag nagkaroon ka ng "panic attack" at naulit siya within 1 to 2 weeks or natatakot ka na lumabas dahil feeling mo magkakaroon ka ng "panic attack" ito ay tinatawag na na "PANIC DISORDER".

yung na-ti-trigger na panic attack dahil nag-eexpect ka ay tinatawag na "Anticipatory Attack".

My technique si Joe Barry para matigil or ma-lessen ang panic attack yung instead na pigilan mo siya, you just welcome it and say "sige go!, panic attack kung panic attack".

when you welcome the attack, the brain itself becomes calm kasi the fact na winelcome mo yung attack means na you are creating a confident atmosphere. once you create a confident atmosphere, the brain will automatically make chemicals or adjustment that would either stop or reduce panic attacks.

Just want to post that today ay nakalabas  na rin ako sa bahay ng mag-isa without having panic attacks.

ang naging problema ko kasi ay bago pa lang lumabas ng bahay halos may panic attack na coz my heart is already at 105 Beats Per Minute.

ang ginawa ko lang today is just accept the fact that anytime ay puwede ako magkaroon  ng panic attack so instead of obsessing or being afraid kung kailan magkakaroon uli ng panic attack, i just concentrated on what should i do if i have panic attack. just in case magkaroon nga ng panic attack i will just do some deep breaths.

ang ginamit kong method is yung kay Joe Barry. yung you just welcome the panic attack and say "sige, panic attack kung panic attack" bahala na si batman.

i was also taking Sertraline for 3 days but i already discontinued it since "anticipatory panic attack" is more of a psychological thing. anti-depressants can only cover the symptoms but not the root cause.

yung "anticipatory panic attack" and agoraphobia (fear na lumabas ng walang kasama) is a learned behaviour that can be unlearned. You just need to expose yourself to the situation, may kahirapan nga lang gawin but kung magawa mo, the results are great.

i will be going out for the next 7 days to normalize my brain and unlearn the agoraphobia.
