I have an ex. We're still friends, and I LOVE talking to him. But, I feel like I'm walking on eggshells with him.
I had a bout of 'clingyness'. I would send him a text message, and before I knew it, I sent him....a lot. I didn't realize it then, but now I realize that I was having a panic attack.
I respected my ex. I did. But, whenever I was having an attack, I would message him, and I didn't really know what it was. And I felt horrible regret with every message I sent him, but I just wanted reassurance from him.
He's changed from the man I once knew him to be, and it just increasingly scared me. It hurts a lot.
I've never had one before. I'm a calm person, and I've never had anything close to it. I'm still feeling the effect of one from a while ago.
I love him and I love for him to keep in touch with me, but I don't know how much it's going to take out of me.
Oh, and I wanted to say hello~ lol. I'm somewhat new to the guild, yet not...I have a mule account and I've posted in a few topics around here. Anyways, hi and thanks for having me here ^^

Have you tried speaking to a psychologist? You might find that speaking to someone else decreases your desire to contact him the whole time. Speaking to another friend might help to.

Shoot me a message if you ever want to talk about your panic attacks, I suffer from them a lot and I know how helpful it can be to talk to someone you know has no connection with anyone. I also studied psychology for six years and continue to study it, so i may be able to help.

panic attacks do come in many different forms... and the responses and triggers can vary drastically as well. it isn't always easy to tell when you have one. hysterics are the common image in peoples' heads when you mention it, though.
my own panic attacks trigger around a former abuser of mine. and I respond mainly by shaking and walking away (or running if I have to). I have tripped and sputtered before. my heart races, and I don't know what to do. it's as though I lose all function except to feel fear and panic. it completely overwhelms me.
my advice to you, is... find something comforting. use it. cling to it if you have to. anything that you can use to ground yourself to reality. I typically find a friend, go away from sydney, and talk -- alot. about anything, usually trying to stop talking about how much I hate her or am afraid of her. if I talk I don't cry.
have you any other friends, who you could talk to? or maybe a video game you can play to get yourself away from crippling thoughts of loss or paranoia?
I regret to admit I am no expert at this. an ex of mine who would suffer panic attacks (still does, from time to time) usually shakes when she has them. all I could do for her was to remind her that I am there for her. hugs usually help her calm down, and gentle petting.
