Has anyone heard of someone having an anxiety/panic attack and that person loosing all emotion for another person - emotional withdrawal. For example - someone in love has an attack and suddenly all feelings for the other person instantly disappear? If so - do those feelings come back?

It depends did the other person cause the anxiety by saying or triggering it? I have anxiety issues... and I know that when someone i am dating pokes my buttons because they know what triggers it.. I tend to fall out of love with them.. I think it's only natural. Someone you love should not use it as a tool to hurt me..

It's called depression. It a lot of times accompanies anxiety. I personally was depressed as a result of dealing with anxiety. Anxiety is one of the worst things to ever afflict a person. At times I considered suicide just to end the anxiety. I had to go to counseling for alcohol because of it (it was the only thing making me feel any better). And yet it only made things worse. It's f*in miserable. I wouldn't wish the pain and suffering of anxiety on anyone. Imagine being completely on edge 24/7. Fearing for your life every day. Constantly thinking you are having a heart attack or some other kind of health problems...It's terrible. But yes, with therapy, medication if necessary and love and support, the good feelings DO come back.

hmm, well, during an anxiety attack the person might just be too caught up in their stress at the moment and may not be able to show love or affection for their significant other until they have calmed down...but i've never heard of a complete change in feelings for someone after an anxiety attack occurs. I have these all the time, and yes, at the time I feel completely unaware of the feelings of those around me, and am solely focusing on my own problems and probably wouldnt be too good at showing affection for someone else...but at soon as i feel better i go back to normal...that sounds pretty abnormal.

Yes, if the brain is provoking an anxiety attack because it is low on food (blood sugar), it can also stimulate or drop other emotions.
www.hufa.org has some info on low blood sugar. The symptoms link has a list of symptoms that can be caused by low blood sugar. Anxiety is on the list.
My suggestion is to memorize something about the beloved one that will never change and is always loveable. Mine is the fact my beloved gave me a red rose on our first date, and kissed my hand. We have been married over 16 years, although there have been times when I felt like I had lost all love for him. I would remember our first date, and the feelings would return.
Hope this helps.

When someone suffers from an anxiety attack they are filled with depression and worry. So it's only normal that they withdraw emotionally from everyone. Try this web site out.

Just type in the persons symptoms
Hope this is helpful

Same thing more or less happened to me last October. I felt that "Doom" & nothing could make me at ease. I found that it was something that effected me a long time ago & for whatever reason it came back in my mind. I went to my GP and was perscribed Cipramil & went to have counciling. Both of these combined helped alot. What i only found out recentily was that if you drink alot of alcohol it effects you really badly. I was at a party on Saturday night and on Sunday i thought i was going to die (not with a hangover) & this continued up till yesterday!! I will not be drinking alcohol anymore.... well maybe not as much!! Go see your GP, anxiety is very treatable it might take a while but it will ease & you will learn how to get ride of that feeling of panic before it comes to a peak. I hate the feeling so much, its mentally draining. It is also so common you would'nt believe, just say it to some of your friends & you will be amazed of so many of them having experienced the same as you at some time or other. Good luck & keep possitive.

Anxiety is not taken seriously enough. Anything is possible when you have an attack. Try some relaxation techniques like meditation. Not sure about your emotional withdrawal, maybe you should speak to a counselor. It sounds serious. Good Luck !

I've not heard of that happenning, but it sounds entirely possible. As far as the feelings coming back, it would probably depend on whether or not the person was truly in love in the first place and also (separately) on how much fear the person is suffering from and if they let it take over their life.

I think it happened to me in the past. I had a major anxiety problem and it killed my relationship with my girlfriend. I would have married her and will regret losing her for the rest of my life.

that sounds like a love hate relationship and yes the feelings will come back just give yourself time, and some time apart will work wonders too but not to much time .
