I would not suggest doing that cause now i as u trying to come out of it. I got things to do today so i have to be with it. do you see a counsoler?

Not yet, no. Have tried before without any success. Have been really well managed for a while on my meds and have even taken on a really responsible job, but its like a sudden button has been pushed and I am in pieces on the floor. Have never had panic attacks before that I can remember quite frightened by them. Only positive is I managed to have a shower today for the first time in 4 days

well then your off to a good start. Some days i just want to lay in bed and stay there. so i make a deal with myself when i get this that and this done then i really will need a nap and it should be a legal for me to have one. LOL then i lay in bed for a couple hours watching tv or sleeping.

deleted_user
thats great, should get some goals! I should be setting some too its pretty tough. Thank you for trying to help feeling pretty isolated and brief. My partner had tried to help but he feels useless and i have been such an almighty mess wallowing and hyperventilating the last couple of days its been bewildering. Good luck with the day too, maybe i might be able to move soon?

My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
