Hello to all of you.
The other day I had a day from hell! My daily anxiety is a current that is always present.
But this day I had a major panic attack that lasted quite a long time. I hadn't had one this severe in quite a few years. I do experience panic attacks atleast once or twice a week.
I was able to get to my husband and tell him I was having a panic attack and he helped me catch my breath by talking thru the situation that had occurred. Even still, the panic attack was still there on a lesser scale. I knew I had to function thru the remainder of the day, although I started to cry again while speaking to one of our venders and had to hang up the phone. I was pretty burnt out, but after my husband went to sleep the panic attack came back, as if I felt safe to let it all out. I had to pace in a quick fashion and ranted and raved in a whisper. The energy was very intense.
Once I burnt myself out again, I went on my computer to check out the psych ward at the hospital, but since this is a small community and I am known thru our business, I held off. I then went to a site that I was checked out and the one post, the first post I went to was someone telling another person about this site.
I quickly went to panic center, and immediately did the first lesson. It helped me to the point I was able to sleep. I also felt safe knowing ther is now a place I can come to to express what is happening with me and my surroundings and to read posts from others who are experiencing and healing.
The next morning I called to make an emergency appt with my psychiatrist. And I have logged on here thru out the day.
I look forward to doing the rest of the lessons.
I am 58 y/o and would love to hear from any women that are around my age or older.
I have been on wellbutrin to rid myself of 'the nasties', and someother meds to help with the anxiety and depression.
Well, I've rambled on. I look forward to sharing with all of you.
