I'm so scared

I've been doing much better for a while but in the last week or so I am having crying spells, anxiety and feeling so disconnected from the world. I feel like I'm about to go crazy. My fiance' works 12 hour shifts and has no clue what I've been going through the last week when he's working. I'd been gone from DS for so long that I don't get but a few hugs and messages. I logged in tonight and had only one message. That's o.k. I just want to know I'm not alone right now. I don't know why I've hit a bump in the road but I have. I have people I could call but I feel like I'd be a bother to them. I feel so alone. I just need some reassurance from others right now.

Hi Kacey

You are not alone in this. I too am struggling at the moment with anxiety, panic and depression. All we can do is try and take it one day even one hour at a time. I feel the same way in not wanting to call friends to bother them. I am new to this site but find it a great help.

Send me a message if you ever want to talk.

you know my number and you know you can call me anytime. I'm always happy to hear from you. And just for your information just when you think everything is going along fine and you have controll of the anxiety for years it can come out of the blue and bite you again. I was sitting with my neighbor talking to her about her sitting Pooh for a day so gale and I could get away for a day and boom it hit me. My heart was racing, I had chest pains and couldn't hardly breathe and I thought I was either going to die right then and there or pass out. I couldn't do my breathing and i was stuck in limbo. I couldn't move or say anything for what seemed like an eternity but it was several minutes long., My friend could tell there was something wrong but didn't know what to do she was just about to call 911 but i managed to speak and tell her panic attack just wait 15 minutes and ask again and if I don't answer back call 911. She continued to talk to me and calm me down. I just found out that she used to have them also many years ago herself. Thank God she knew how to help me. KC I haven't had one like that in years. It started the whole what if thinking agaain and i was stuck on that heart attack thought for several days. It's been a week now and I still feel shakey but I"m slowly geting out of this What If it was a heart attack thought. WOW, and I'm fighting it with very little use of my xanax. So if I can hang in there by the skin of my teeth right now so can you. I almost called you but i couldn't remember which number to use. All your different phone numbers on all these different pieces of paper I can't remember which was which.
Hugs
love ya
Judy and of course Pooh too
