I need to say a huge thank you to everyone who posted about anxiety a few weeks ago!!! When I read the posts I realized some of the symptoms that I have been experiencing were because of anxiety. I've known I had anxiety, mainly because it caused my insomnia but it was never anything serious. But this morning I had a full attack while driving to work. My breathing became irregular and my mussels tensed up. It started with pins and needles in my hands, my mussels in my hands tensed up (like if you lay on your arm and cut off circulation) then my whole arms tensed up then my legs and stomach, even my lips and eyelids started tensing up. Thank God I was able to pull into a parking lot and put my car in park. I tried to get my phone to call for help but I couldn't move my hands. Again Thank God, I look over and there is a police Officer standing a few feet from my car. I called for help and he came over and called an ambulance. Him and his partner stayed with me and calmed me down a bit. After a few minutes I was able to use my hands enough to call my husband who was only a few blocks away. (he was so great through all this. He never left my side) It was a terrifying experience but thanks to you who shared your experiences I knew what was going on and helped me soooooooooo much. I was able to think "this is a panic attack you need to calm down" instead of freaking out further thinking I was dying or something. I can not say thank you enough!!! You guys are the best! One last time THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
