Panic Attacks (being scared)
Watch this 
View More Posts Ignore
I am so sick of fearing the night. Everynight I lay down and fear my panic, which in return, just makes me have one.
You would think after 21 yrs of having these things and not dying that I wouldn't be affraid of getting one! But I am always affraid!
I just want to be able to live a normal life, normal to me is not having all these fears all the time, I don't live. People say "ohh just do it, you won't die from a panic attack" BUT being in fear the whole time is not fun to me, I'd rather just stay home.

I am on Lexapro which does nothing anymore for me, I fear meds and that is why I haven't changed it. I even fear the Xanax!!

I had a very bad night and just needed to vent. Thanks for listening.....
