Hi everyone. I'm Cori. I'm in my mid 20's. I used to get anxiety attacks about 6 years ago. I went to counseling for some issues I had at the time, and they went away for a while. Now they're back. It's like a tape recorder in my head that just never stops until I get way too worked up.
One weekend I managed to get only 11 hours sleep over three nights, and i also started having anxiety attacks. (went into work one day after 2 hours sleep) I went in to the doctor that monday, and he checked my thyroid levels, as that's in my family history. It all came back normal and he said it was panic disorder. I'm on some meds this time, just so I can sleep. I've been on them for a week now, and they seem to be helping, although they make me feel stupid and slow. But for now, I'll take the sleep.
The hardest part for me is nobody to talk to. I don't have many friends, and no close friends. My BF and his son don't understand how I'm feeling, and why I need to just shut down sometimes. I just sometimes feel like it's too much, and I have to escape.
I'm glad I found this site though. It helps me to know I'm not losing my mind (though it sure feels like it). and I've read other posts, and you people are feeling exactly how I am.
Anyways, that's my story in short. Thanks for listening.
