I am laura. I am a waitress at cracker barrel. A year ago
I moved from south carolina to az to be with my boyfriend whom is in
the air force. He is great however he never gets sick. Now that i scared
to leave our apartment, work, or be social he is trying to understand
but it is hard for him. I got my first big panic attack at work during
my shift out of the blue. They had the call 911 for help. Finally I
calmed down thinking I was having a asthma attack (my mom had it i do
not) or a heart attack. That is when I found out it was a panic attack.
Then i started having them weekly sometimes multiple times during one
week. Now I barely make to work or out. I feel depressed because I feel
like I am weak or not brave enough to handle my own emotions. I now I am
causing money trouble for my boyfriend and I as well. I just want to be
normal again. I have been taking medication for about 4 months but the
attacks keep happening. So I really help this program helps I need
relief so bad.
Again thank you everyone for the positive feedback. I just finished reading session one. I am hoping to become active in posting. Everyone is so supporting. I feel like everyone at work and my friends just think im crazy and that I should just get over it. But it is going to take time I understand that. So far just understanding more about panic is helping a lot. I am going to get a few books for more understanding. I havent found a counselor yet. i am having trouble finding one I can afford. Hopefully soon i can find one. I look forward to posting and working with all of you. It's nice to know that I am not alone.
So this past week had been horrible. Three attacks and not able to go to work at all. However today my bff and I went out to a great evening. We went to a local race track. I used to like going to races with my family when I was little. Here lately if we do go out we have been going to uncrowded places or really early (10 am movies). But tonight was different and I really liked it and had fun. I cant sleep but I think it is b/c i am so happy with myself.
