What The Main What If Is The Thought I Am Freaking Out About.

[gordiescotland1]

Hi there.
Short of sounding ridicolous or stupid I dont care. I am having all these panicy thoughts but the main what if thought and it is probably stupid but if I can get reassurance over it it might help. What I am worried about is if I am on the train and I have a panic attack caused by the fear of being stuck in the middle of nowhere if it stops due to disruption and it leads to a heart rythm problem and I take ill. If it was stopped in the middle of nowhere what would happen how would they get help to me and If they couldnt get help to me I could die.

Now you're sounding sensible Gordie, by all means be aware of what could happen, but is unlikely to get out there and enjoy yourself'
Good Luck.

There is no rationalising with panic attacks but as you already know, every time you have faced a situation the worst has never happened and it is extremely unlikely it will this time.


You can do it and you will survive and you'll be very pleased with yourself after wards.

Then return to GP for a different way of helping your anxiety, because the last drug tried didn't help - others may or cognitive therapy could help.

Have a great day and we want to see some piccys.x

It is just overproduction of adrenaline it has been flying through my body since monday making sleeping and eating difficult and I am physically and mentally exhausted. I just hope I can do this.

Has your doctor ever suggested beta blockers for your anxiety?

I am talking about a passenger being taken ill, in that situation the train will proceed to the next station even if that station is not a scheduled stop.

Gordie, antidepressants can make it we worse the first couple of weeks. It means they are working. You need to use them for 6 months before you can even begin to tell if they are helpful. They will be. Please have a rethink and talk to your doctor again. You don't have to live like this. I was exactly the same once.

For info: I believe Baldric's remark at 13.27 is classic cyberbullying and have reported it. Shame on Baldric.

With respect I think you may have read Baldric's comment out of context - he was replying to Eddie.
