Hi Everyone, Here is my story: I was married to an over the road truck driver. I had a less than 2 yr old, was in a grocery store, suddenly felt light headed, scared and had to escape. I stayed with my parents for about a month, made 3-4 trips to the er,was finally diagnosed with anxiety after months of testing, took medication, paxil and atenonal, was fine mostly. a few attacks here and there, then starting having them about 4-5 years later, then in 2006 stopped taking meds when became pregnant with twins, have felt fine till about a month ago, out of the blue, had an attack, light headed, felt like I was going to die,felt nausea, went to the dr.s and I think now my next step is to see a counsellor, I'll do anything to get rid of this, I am starting to be afraid to leave the house, hope to get some advice from here, thanks
I went today to see a counsellor, I think it went well, My goal is to be able to control anxiety , so that it dosen't reach panic, and eventually learn coping skills to erase my gad.I shed alot of tears, but I have alot of unresolved issuess, Thank you everyone who shared encouraging words, and I am gradually going through this 12 week lessons.
