Losing My Meds!!!

Welcome Arglyle!
 
I am new too.  Losing your meds is going to be tough.  But having a baby would be so rewarding.  Sometimes I fight my fears by telling myself I am tough. LOL it sounds super silly but I get mad at what I am scared of.  see, for you, you could say I am doing it for my little baby and NOTHING is going to get in my way.  I will not let fear get me because I have to fight for my future child......lol it's worth a shot
 
they say courage is not the absense of fear but still moving forward dispite the fear.  To me you seem very courageous.

Just got back from a job interview..

I think you were very brave too walrus!!!!!  Interviews are so scarey,,,even when I know I am good for the the job i still feel incredibly nervous,,,i just keep thinking what if I turn red, what if I stutter,,,,,then it happens and it reinforced the fear.  But I know friends of mine who just avoid interviews altogether....Obviosuly this is not a good career move and they are depressed they cannot excell in the workforce. So at least you are still trying.  You deserve a big CONGRATS!

suffering from agoraphobia and need help.

WHat you are explaing is definately a panic attack. They are really scarey but I have learned to recognize them for what they are.  They are scarey but you are not going to die or loose ur vision u are just going to be scared and a little messed up for a few minutes.  LOL when I look at it like that I find I have less ofthem.  I also try to manage my stress level because that often triggers it too.  Hope this helps.

Myth and Fact

I am very embarressed by my mental illness. And it makes me angry when I know people this it is all in my head and I could jsut snap out of it if I wanted to.  I hate how people look at me when they see that I am scared. I feel like screaming I have panic I am not crazy.. but then they would think I am more crazy LOL
 
How do others deal with what others think about panic?
