Obsession about panic attacks?

Yes I had this happened to me I had my first panic attack from to much caffeine after that I became obsessed and scared of having another one that I was so focused I kept having them non stop I kept searching for answers and had the dr run lab work thinking it was something wrong like thyroid problem or something else all my labs came back normal I just learned how to deal with a panic attack and literally ride it out I told myself I’ve had these so many times and never died once so I let it come and learned to ride it out and little by little they went away once in a great while I’ll get one but I already know the process of it and I don’t give it power I hope this helps

What I’ve learned is that panic attacks aren’t harmful. They are uncomfortable. But not harmful. Your just feeling a lot of emotion at once. It will pass. They always do. I wouldn’t be afraid of panic attacks. They are just emotions. Allow yourself to feel whatever comes up. Breathe in thru your nose and out thru your mouth. Breathing thru the abdomen, not the chest. You know how panic attacks feel. They cannot harm you. You are a pro at this. Guide yourself gently and know that whatever comes up. You are capable of handling it and processing it.

Hey everyone! Just wanted to thank you all for the sweet words and good advice. Even though I was scared to go to work today because I was afraid of having a panic attack, I still went and nothing was as bad as I thought it was gonna be. My heart raced a little, but I managed to get through my whole shift :) Just reminded myself that even if I do get anxious, the feeling will pass, and ended up handling myself a lot better! So appreciative of everyone and their kindness ❤️

I FELT THIS SO HARD OMG

I just experienced this too with a combination of my somatic ocd. It gets difficult to center myself, but I try to give my brain and self time to recenter.

I know exactly how you feel this has been an obsession of mine for years since I had my first major panic attack in 2019. It’s rough but always remember it’s just like any other part of OCD it will pass just sit with it and realize how strong you are for doing that! Always here if you need guidance but not reassurance!
