    • Close Anxiety

      I have been suffering from anxiety attacks/panic attacks(depression came later) since my very 1st attack on New Years Eve, at my boyfriends house( who is my hubby of 14 years) I didn't know what was going on. I called some family members to pick me up, but the ones I called were to intoxicated. I called 911 I thought I was dying, and couldn't breathe, and my heart was gonna bounce right out of my chest. They couldn't help me cause I was a minor.My whole life has changed since my 1stA/A18yrs ago
