What do you mean by 'crying wolf'' sweetie.. What happened?

Well, I had the panic attacks that happened which made me weak in the knees and to where I had problems breathing and lost 15 pounds in two weeks. I couldn't eat and drank water and got dehydrated anyway. So, I posted the fears on FB and alarmed my siblings who then wanted to pay for me to see the doctor. They thought that I had the diabetes and I kept procrastinating.



I have been having cognitive problems and am afraid that I might have Alz. Some cognitions have returned but speech appears to still be a problem. Spelling has improved as well.

And then at the office, I was irate because the receptionist was rather dour and said not to call for any questions I might have outside, so I thought an incident had happened that didn't and I put angry stuff on my FB and one of my sisters got alarmed.

I want to go to the doctor, but I have to schedule things very carefully.

I'm trying not to cry wolf. I need time to get the doctor thing done because my husband is worried more abt the anxiety. A friend of mine at work told me not to lie to my sisters, so I didn't.

I keep crying wolf but I don't mean to.

Sounds to me that you have some valid symptoms. That's not "crying wolf". I don't understand why you'd wait 2 weeks to begin assessing your problems or what constraints there are on you doing so. The pdoc is there for us and will save us much grief if we only drag ourselves to their door in a timely manner.

Anxiety / Panic attacks can be brutal.

You can seriously feel like you are dying .

I've ended up in Hospital because of panic attacks . They are NO fun, and seldom do our family members quite get the seriousness of them.

It seems , hypochrondria can often come along for the ride , when panic attacks occur. Your fear of Alhz and diabetes are part of the whole part of panic attacks

Panic attacks are serious, and shouldn't be taken lightly.

It sounds like your family is trying to help.

It doesn't sound like crying wolf at all to me. You are having symptoms of panic. They can be brutal. Don't beat yourself up over it.

i agree that panic is horrible C... Going back to DBT might be a great gift to give yourself sweetie....Gentle hug for ya...xo
