I really appreciate you sharing all of that. I am in the beginning stages of research, but personal stories are helpful....especially from people that have chosen to try to beat this without meds. Thanks

Any tips for dealing with it??
Its different for everyone. I need to be alone. Quiet and alone. If I'm with someone and they keep talking to me it's like knives in my brain. If we're in a mall for example, i just quit talking. I can manage to stay and deal with it if i can stay quiet. If I'm forced to talk or interact, I can't handle it. And i know lashing out or being miserable is not going to help me or the situation. That's something i learned as well. It's my problem, no reason to spread my mood to others. I also carry headphones around. Listening to some of my favorite music really helps take my mind off of it and i can recover.
Sometimes, I really just have to leave wherever we're at.

Your honesty in this thread really makes me feel like a dick for my tongue in cheek comments.

My family curse is The Crazy and I have been successful with no meds and just thinking clearly (the wife helps;)
Not to demonize meds as some people do need them, but while it takes work and focus, life can be great without.
One thing I forgot: stop policing every fricking body sensation!!!!! Turn off that damn body monitor.

That was kinda dickish FWIW 
Honestly, it feels good to vent here and I didn't realize this was such a common 'condition'

Agreed. My only defense is that it is the OT on a Friday.
I suggest you don't do what I did for many years. Self medicating with vodka is a VERY temporary solution.

That is some heavy shite, bro.
I didn't share it as some heavy story. I dont even think of it like that. It's just part of life. My friends used to joke about it and my family still does. i agree with what hangover said, dont get mad. Just let the kid know youre there for her, but dont push her to talk or to do something when she' sin a mood like that in public. She's probably working through it in her head. Once she's calmed down and yall are away from everything talk to her about it.

But the terrible thing is, more times than not, this place is where I work

The only thing I ever use drinking to fix was problems with women, and this shite I'm dealing with right here is way more complicated than those bitches
I guess what I mean is that I've never let a girl break me down, only I can break me down and it's kind of scary

....and now you dread work. Taking its power away reopens doors. All those places you avoid because you had an episode there can be inviting again.

Solid advice
Without my support system (mom, fiancé, best friend, and now possibly TD.com
), this would be unbearable This post was edited on 8/7/15 at 11:47 am

Well I share a large room with three other people but I also have to board vessels on the river and I'm relatively new
Breesus, the WORST attack I've ever had was in Champions Square... It was the day the Chee Weez played before we beat Frisco... I was down there having a blast with 5 of my friends, then BAM it hit me... I was convinced I was dying right there on the stairs.... My buddy ran to a drink booth, cut the line, and bought me a bottle of water... I drank half of it and insisted on walking back to the truck....
Before I even made it all the way out of the square, it was gone and we were back to partying but for 10 minutes I was convinced I was dying
Pretty fricking scary and illogical. I'm glad that my friend that I confide in about this was there with me to try to talk me out of it and to explain to my other friends what was going on. I was cool until my buddy looked at me and said oh my god man you are turning white then I was convinced I was a goner

DBT has done wonders for my anxiety. I've quit taking three of my meds including klonopin since I've been in it the last two months
I don't know if they have Dbt in your area or if you could take off work three months to do the program. The center I'm at also offers a class two nights a week
I've always been a strong supporter of medicating since therapy has never worked for me in the past, but I'm not anymore. It's really all about learning effective ways to cope with, think about and handle situations
Here's the skill they teach for your worst anxiety or when you're having a panic attack

I've been dealing with them for a few years now, but lately they've flared up really bad and it's hard for me to do normal, daily things without feeling like I'm dizzy and my heart is racing... Sometimes it even keeps me from leaving my house..
Worst feeling in the world besides having to shite and no toilet around.
Was about to say I feel them when I'm hungover......
Then saw this...

Are you hungover?

Exercise is GREAT way to kick their asses.
And like that page said, even if you're at work and you just go walk real fast down a hall or up some stairs. Getting heart rate to match Oxygen needs will level out the dizziness and hyperventilation.

I've covered that already mike
Now that I have a fiancé and a kid I really only drink some Fridays and some Saturdays, never during the week.
Page, what is the DBT program, I've never heard of it
