I thought I was a new recruit, but it turned out to be panic disorder.

It's not a heavy story, but it's not a light one either.

I am going to share my story of having panic disorder for the tenth year.

Sudden pain and suffering that came unexpectedly overwhelmed me entirely.

I have made a mess of my life.

 

Unexplained abdominal pain.. unexplained diarrhea.. unexplained headaches...

Unexplained chest pain... Unexplained breathing instability...

I have undergone dozens of tests such as chest scans, stomach scans, colon scans, and blood tests, but no specific diagnosis has been made.

 

It would have been better if at least the result showed where the pain was.

I'm going crazy because they keep saying everything is normal at the hospital too.

I heard they were running.. their body was gradually weakening..

Later, I even started to suspect that he might not be a new patient.

 

During that time, a relative working at the hospital

How about cautiously trying a psychiatric consultation once?

Did you do it..? At that time, the illness called panic disorder itself was

Because it is an uncommon disease...

I wondered why I should go to the psychiatrist.

 

However... my body is gradually getting worse and I can't even carry out daily activities at all.

I ended up going all the way to the edge... I went there crying and reluctantly.

Undergoing various tests... and seeing the doctor for consultation.

A week's worth? I remember you brought the medication.

I think there were about 7 pills in total... Why are there so many different medications?

I had taken them, but later I found out that five of those pills were...

It was just a regular vitamin. The reason is because the teacher later on

You told me... the patient gradually reduces each medication on their own.

They said they wanted to let you know that you're recovering well from your illness.

Anyway, the medication I took is shown in the picture below.

Paxil and Alprazolam!!

It's been a long time since I last took Paxil, so its expiration date has long passed.

 

 

Yes. That's right haha, I had a panic disorder!!

Taking the medication for a week really made the pain go away.

It was so fascinating... but we shouldn't rely too much on medication.

I have been diligently exercising for several years and also learning how to endure.

I learned a lot.

 

The most important thing is that panic disorder is not a deadly disease.

 

Most patients with panic disorder experience panic attacks when

I feel overwhelmed by a fear of not being able to breathe and dying.

It naturally disappears after about 10 to 20 minutes.

Of course, everyone is different, but most within an hour.

Most cases where panic attacks disappear.

 

Even if you go to the emergency room, there's not much that can be done specifically for patients with panic disorder.

There isn't any.. So I practice enduring alone without going to the emergency room.

I think I did it quite a lot.

First, I always carried a plastic bag with me.

When hyperventilation occurs, hold a bag over your nose and mouth.

Taking slow, deep breaths really helps a lot.

And then move alone to a quiet place where there are no people around.

I used to close my eyes and focus only on my breathing.

 

I am currently in my 10th year of panic disorder, but I experience panic attacks about once or twice a year.

I'm not sure whether to come... I think it's been over a year since I stopped taking medication.

It is said that there is no cure for panic disorder~ but if managed well

Seizures come more slowly... Even if they occur, I can control them.

I think so. Anyway, I am doing well now ^^

If you are going through a difficult time due to panic disorder

I strongly recommend that you don't hide it and make sure to visit the hospital!!

 

All panic patients, fighting! ^^
