Panic Attack?

By helloimryan10 July 18, 2020 6 answers Last updated July 18, 2020

I have had a kitten for a week (several a month), we took him from the street, I took him to the vet and after we cleaned him of fleas, today for the first time I had to sleep in the same room with him. I'm afraid he'll skin me. Most of all, I'm afraid he'll scratch my head and face. I went to bed at 1 o'clock. I put him in his bed, he came up to me. I put it at my feet, and it started playing with them, sometimes climbing on me. I was scared because the blanket was torn. However, my mother told me that if I didn't pay attention to him, he would learn. I fell asleep somewhere around 3 o'clock, and by then the kitten had climbed up to my head 2-3 times and was playing with my hair.

 

At 4 o'clock I woke up a little because the kitten was playing with my hair again. I was very hot. I moved the kitten. However, I could no longer sleep. I cried because the kitten had to sleep in the same room as me. I panicked, my stomach clenched into a ball because I was crying. Then I cried a little, panting. My nose is blocked. After a while, I woke up completely because I realized I couldn't breathe. I inhaled and exhaled quickly and noisily through my mouth, but I felt as if I was short of air. I tried to calm my breathing, but I managed for a short time, and then I gasped again. I got out of bed. The kitten's left leg was numb and I was shaking slightly. I was dizzy, I had a sense of unreality. I managed to calm my breathing, but I felt like I could gasp again. Now, at 5 o'clock I have calmed down almost completely, but I am afraid to go to my room and go to bed so as not to gasp again.

 

I'm worried it wasn't an asthma attack or a panic attack. What to do? I will talk to my parents, but I would like to hear a few opinions.

Maybe you are allergic to cat hair and the constant proximity of the kitten has exacerbated the allergy? See if this will continue and if so, go to an allergist.

Cats are also very active at night. I don't know what's your problem with inventing a cell for him at first. Otherwise, he hardly bothers to eat you.

Well, you got into a movie on your own. I have had cats since I was 10 years old - my first was a Siamese and I saved her from the street - she slept next to me like a plush toy. We recently took a cat from an animal home that has behavioral problems and we don't let it sleep with us because my husband doesn't want to - he lies down at our feet and disturbs him. In general, I can tell you that cats do not tear the faces and eyes of their owners, but do so only at the risk of their lives - for example, this is how they treat dogs - their worst enemy, and only when threatened. It is not true that cats are generally active at night - it all depends on your rhythm of life. Over time, the cat adjusts to it, and if it has been active at night, but sees that your work has died at night and is not worth doing, it will sleep more at night and be more active during the day - it depends from you and from you as a family when you are active at home.

The problem is not in the cat, but in you somewhere you can say that it is a panic attack, but I still do not know if you continue like this you will not be able to sleep all night.

it is also possible to have a panic attack ... the symptoms are shortness of breath, a feeling that you are dreaming that everything is happening like in a movie, that you are lying on the other side, for example, that you are dying, that you are going crazy and what other movies are listed on the internet. enough by typing in the search engine. I don't think there is a person who has had a panic attack and hasn't recognized it the second he reads the symptoms. shake yourself and if this is your problem you will have to inquire a lot more, because the fact that the kitten scares you is definitely not the reason you get them, it just unlocks them. I am 18 years old and I have had PA since I was 15, I know very well how bad you feel. things become much easier and it is quite possible to do it yourself (you can also seek the help of a psychotherapist), there is nothing scary! the point is, you really have to read everything on the subject and get your hands on it. it is quite possible to recover completely, as long as you make an effort to fight the fear, dig a little deeper into your mind and find out what your worries are ... it is often associated with a desire for control or an attempt to suppress emotions that simply kill by panic attack. if you find that this is really your problem, tell me and I can give you a much more detailed description, you can ask me any questions, I would be happy to share my experience
