I am a 35 year old African American woman.
I am not doing well today. I have been having panic attacks all day. And the medication is not working. Today was a bad day to have a breakthrough. …
I suffer from panic attacks when I feel overwhelmed, hurt, or afraid. I have a hard time identifying the causes because there always seem to be so many. They started a couple of years after I learned that I was ill with endometrisosis and reoccuring ovarian cysts. It usually acompanies the pain of these illnesses, But, it breaks through at other times as well. I am a rape victum and also deal with post traumatic stress.
I was diagnosed with endometrisosis about 7 years ago. It is very painful and I have spend many nights in the local hospital emergency room. It has been disrupting my life in every way imaginable. I am always looking for a better way to manage the pain and get through the day.
Diagnosed 7 years ago.
