Having anxiety attacks is probably one of the most unnerving bodily feelings you can ever receive. One of the core tribulations with having anxiety attacks is that, it cannot actually be seen by anyone else, so you may feel totally lonely and by yourself.
Tons of times the individual who is suffering from an anxiety attack does not know what is going on, which contributes to the amount of the anxiety.
Having anxiety attacks can be soul destroying, it can in actual fact turn your life upside down. I have not got this from a book; I have lived with anxiety attacks for over 20years, also my Mum has suffered with anxiety attacks as well.
My anxiety attacks would happen out of the blue, I could be out shopping having a good time, then that dreaded mood of not feeling right would start to creep up on me, then that feeling would get stronger and stronger and before I knew it I would be having a major anxiety attack in the centre of a shop. I can tell you it is really frightening, but those of you reading this will have some sort of grasp of what i mean. That awful feeling where you begin to feel all hot and tense, your vision starts to go and you feel like the shop is closing in on you.
How I would depict my feeling is like this, I was aware of everything that was going on around me, but I felt like a part of me had withdrawn into myself, if that makes sense. For me I just needed quite, I could not handle it with anyone talking to me. I had to focus on what was taking place with me. I don’t know what I thought would happen but I just needed to gain control.
What I found really hard was trying to get my husband to be aware of what was happening to me. To try and get him to recognize how I was feeling and what having anxiety attacks was doing to me mentally, physically and emotionally. It was futile really; know one known’s what having anxiety attacks are like unless you have experienced them for yourself.

Thank you for such a wonderful post! As a newly diagnosed person with anxiety, I'm just now encountering the internal struggle of my competent and successful 'mask' vs. my debilitating anxiety that causes lack of sleep, motivation, fatigue and pain. My favorite line was:
“it took me twenty or more years to get to the point of breakdown; why did I expect that in a few weeks, or even a few years, I could recover?”
I need to remember this whenever I start berating myself for not “getting better”. Thank you!
LOL yea I love me some meatloaf…and yea I got me a little sun, its my daily walks around the walmart parking lot that do it! HAHAHAH
Piping up to leave another comment…I promise I'm not blog stalking you or anything. But I swear we're living the same life; from debilitating sickness during pregnancy to crazy in-laws.My in-law issues are far from over. However, I don't regret sticking up for myself & how I feel. If there's one thing I've learned dealing with them, it's that problems don't get better over time, they get worse. Especially if you're dealing with controlling, manipulative people.When you try to show that you're an independent adult & a competent parent, they will try & resist you. They will fight tooth & nail.The most amazing piece of advice that I've received during our family drama was from another blogging Mom who was (& still is) a great source of support. She told me that in-laws are like toddlers. Sometimes you have to treat them as such. They will have temper tantrums & maybe need a “time-out”.It makes so much sense in our situation.I don't know how much you can put up with, but when I kept my mouth shut to keep the peace, it ate away at me inside. I lost a lot of sleep & eventually started having anxiety attacks during their visits. Not fun. Even though they're having their big tantrum now that I spoke up, at least I can sleep.Dealing with in-laws like this is a bumpy road. It sound like you have your husband there to back you up, which is super important.

how do you recover from this, ABC? I read the posts from people who've left and gotten over it (although some do take a long time) and those who've managed to laugh and start their own business. I feel stuck emotionally.
Four months after quitting and I'm still having anxiety attacks, still taking the anti-depressant, still taking sleeping pills. My thoughts still dwell on what I “should've done or said.”
Confronting the bully didn't help – it just escalated his attacks.
How does one move on & heal?
And how are you doing in your own situation?
For those who are prone to Anxiety Disorders read this great article on Causes and known effective treatments.
You say you were a super rock star pusher, but I'd say you were a super rockstar throughout all of this! You deserve to be so proud of yourself, I'm in awe that you went through all of that while still having to deal with the previous traumas. Anxiety attacks were probably likely to come so don't beat yourself up over them, just be proud that you got through it all – that is true strength.
Congratulations and much love.
why do I hate plans so much? Going to see my kickass grandparents tomorrow w/ my mom and I’m already having anxiety attacks. WTF
This is silly. I'm alone, in my own home, easy work to do and I don't have to go out today – why the heck am I having anxiety attacks?
thank you so very much
