You ARE NOT pathetic! You poor guy. I know how you feel. I feel your pain 100 %! I'm 34 and have been dealing with these for almost four years now, which I realize is nothing compared to some. I know the feeling of thinking your going to drop dead. Their are times my anxiety gets so bad with these that I won't leave the house for fear it will happen in public and horrible things will happen. There have been times that I was so frightened that I would tell my husband That I needed to go run errands, and I'd really drive to the nearest ER and wait in the parking lot until I could calm down and be ready to run in if they got worse. I also am very afraid to be secluded outdoors. Like out camping with the family, because what happens if I need an ambulance and I'm not close to the hospital....I could go on and on! I know it's hard, but you really have to try to trust what your DR. says. Especially if you've had a whole shlew of tests done and they tell you that you're okay. Easier said than done, I know. I have to remind myself of this constantly! I really believe that stress and anxiety can be big triggers for most people, so try, try, try, to relax a little bit and slow your breathing down when you start to feel severe anxiety. This site is awesome! I just found it around 2 weeks ago, so I am new too. These people on here have been so helpful and supportive! I'm very thankful for this site!
