I've been facing panic attacks since last year and extreme anxiety as well it all went extreme after my breakup and now I don't feel happy anymore.
Everytime I think of past I get severe panic attacks lasting upto 20 mins
Sometimes I feel like I can't handle it anymore and to end everything, I also face difficulty in breathing during that times
Severe throat tightness and choking sensation (globus sensation) with dry mouth.
Air hunger (feeling unable to catch a full or satisfying breath), shallow breathing, chest pressure, and body trembling.
Primary Triggers & Core Fear:
Traveling alone far from home (beyond a 15 20 km safety boundary), solo travel by bus, train, or flight, crowded places, exam centers, and unfamiliar environments.
Catastrophic Thought: If I go far from home, my throat will choke completely, my breathing will stop, and I will die or faint.
Social Fear: Fear of panicking in public, shouting for help, and experiencing extreme embarrassment. Safety Behaviors & Avoidance:
Forced yawning to pull air in, constantly touching/checking the throat, needing family or friends to accompany travel, and escaping back home during panic waves.
All medical tests (ECG, Heart, Lungs, Vitamin B12, Vitamin D3, and Oxygen levels) are 100% normal.
Physically fit with 9 years of regular gym workouts. please help me.
I would like to have a conversation with a doctor who actually has knowledge about CHS because i feel im going through the symptoms since a month now and need help.
I used to consume 2 joints a day, i decided to reduce to 1 joint a month ago, and ive stopped since today because its nit getting any better.
very confused between withdrawal and CHS.
A sick 3-week-old orphaned kitten wandered into my home. I have severe OCD, but my empathy overrode it. I bonded deeply—cleaning his vomit, helping him poop, and keeping his crashing body warm. I earn well and was ready to fully fund his care.
While I was working, my mother secretly took him and had someone dump him outside. She is a harsh person who does performative religious fasts but showed zero empathy. She is now happily gossiping, acting like nothing happened.
I feel like my baby was stolen. I’m suffering severe "ambiguous loss" not knowing his fate. Friends call me "too sensitive," leaving me isolated. My biggest struggle is boiling, uncontrollable rage toward my mother. I’ve lost all love for her. I actually cut up her expensive sarees yesterday just to force a consequence. The urge to retaliate more is overwhelming.
Questions:
How do I process this trauma living with her?
How do I stop this destructive rage?
How do I calm my fight-or-flight panic?
