Freaking out

Alphonsus

I don't know how else to describe it. I'm just freaking out right now. I can't even give any symptoms besides "freaking out".

Bad place right now. No clue why. I made an almost incomprehensible journal post. It doesn't say much more than this.

Any advice, observations, comments, or heavy drugs would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

i had a panic attack that lasted from 10 pm to 5am last night. it helps to call someone to vent. anything that bothers you or to just talk about how you are feeling. i called a friend and it helped a little and eased the symptoms enough so i could go to sleep. if you need to talk you can send me a pm hun.

Can you take a little more? My doc told me to take an extra half when I'm really freaking.

Thanks, booboo. That's a good idea, taking an extra half. I'm not going anywhere tomorrow, so it shouldn't hurt anything.

It's getting better. It really is.

I'm sorry, Al. Panic attacks suck so bad. I sit down, close my eyes, and visualize the feeling of pushing everything far away. A few minutes of that seems to help.
