Hi Everyone 3am and I woke up doubled over with cramps. I'm home alone with my one and a half y.o. daughter for the first time. What am I going to do? I'm starting to have a panic attack. These cramps are terrible -- I can't even breathe fully and I can barely sit up. I'm emetephobic - just praying that this isn't going to lead to throwing up. Plus now I ahve the added fear of not being able to take care of my daughter. Oh this is a bad one. If this is IBS, its so severe. I'm so afraid I've gotten a bug. THis is the level of pain I had last time I had a stomach virus. HELP!!!!
Its Thursday morning - on tuesday afternoon some lady pushed on to the elevator with us when there was not space - almost hurting my daughter and I yelled at her for being rude. She said, "I'm sick and I'm going to throw up, okay?" Then she breathed heavily - all over me and my wife and daughter!- for the whole ride. It could have been an excuse but I believed her and its been on my mind. Its very possible that I made myself totally sick with worry over that. I dont' think its that possible that she made us sick. Well the rational part of me doesn't. THis is me at my full blown worst people - I'm so irrationally scared of this -
My daughter's up and crying now! I may have to go calm her down.

Well I managed to find my heating pad - that was a triumph at 330am! And now I'm reviewing in my mind the times I've felt this terrible and not thrown up - first day of college came immediately to mind. You know, I even thought to myself last night that I would probably create a panicked situation by wakign up at 3 or 4 am and feeling ill. I managed to do it! My mind is soooo good at hurting myself but not so good at curing unfortunately .; (I've done the hypno 100 days twice). If I could beat the anxiety, then maybe it would be better. Its got a real grip on me, especiallly lately for some reason. Anyone out there?

I feel like a broken record saying this, but I have terrible panic like that - and emetophobia! - and the only thing that's truly helped me is medication. But if you haven't tried seeing a therapist, you might really want to give it a try.
I hope you're feeling better and that you managed to get some sleep, too - those 3am panics are the worst.

hi
try not to panic your daughter I'm sure will be fine and so will you.
But I totally understand how you feel so scared I'm like that alot...
is there anyone who can look after your daughter? I think that'd be a great help, but so will your daughter be a great support, the love you recieve from her and feel for her will help give you strength.
I hope you feel better very soon
sending you prayers
Vicky

thanks for your posts everyone. It was a bad night but after hysciamine and xanax and a warm bath I managed to crawl back to bed and sleep a few hours. I woke up this morning and its still bad! I'm surprised. Its painful all across my abdomen around the level of my navel. I guess its bad ibs spasms but it is unusually awful.

I used to hate to throw up. It was always the sitting on the floor hugging the porcelan in misery. Then once pulled the waste basket next to the bed 'just in case' and you know what?I ain't so bad that way. I guess you're not fighting gravity. The last couple of times I was sick I actually was hoping I would throw up and get rid of it. TMI, I know.

I just logged on, I hope you are starting to feel better. I hate the panicky feeling on top of being sick, glad you had the xanax, that usually helps me. Hugs and love

You need take on some anti depressent to prevent you from Panic. I have been like you and match to the teeth. When I read your story and I felt like I was reading my story. I was afrid to be out with my son because I thought something happened to me and I wont be able to take care of him. Please accept the fact that our heads are sick and taking antideprssent is just fact of life. 2006 is a crazy time to live in...with all the happening in Mid East. Are you taking any medication for your panic disorder?

OK, remember to breeathe! It's time to find something that makes you calm. Is there somewhere cool you can go where the lights are dim? Close your eyes and put up your feet. Your child will be fine. Just keep her close and she'll relax.
I'm sending you good positive thoughts!
