A panic attack is a period of intense fear or discomfort, typically with an abrupt onset and usually lasting no more than thirty minutes. Symptoms include trembling, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, sweating, nausea, dizziness, hyperventilation, and sensations of choking or smothering. Panic attacks can be very sudden, appear to be unprovoked, and are often...

At 26 yrs old I had a breakdown of sorts. I'm 35 now. I was Dx'd w/ Bipolar and Extreme Anxiety Disorder. It got worse, then better and so on. My life fell apart. I had it all.. IE.. the great job, house...social life.. la la and it all came undone. Shortly after, my Dad died, then just recently, my Mother passed. My Panic attacks are sooooo bad, after watching my Mother die before my eyes, I can't even go to a Dr.'s appt. My Blood Pressure is high and I am now a pre-diabetic. =( After losing the last of my family. There is nothing left. My old friends just couldn't understand my illness and slowly faded away. So I now have NO Family, NO Friends and I am stuck in this darn house. (not fully) I do out on occation. But I am so alone. I am afraid to make new friends, in fear of having to tell them the truth. The others left me, you get the picture. I am at a stand still and feel desperate. I am so outgoing and fun to be around. One would never know that I suffer sooooo bad. Yet, it's the painful truth. I have nightmares, and night terrors (panic attacks in my sleep). Am I the only one. I just want somewhat of a life again... Friends, activivty, anything... *cry*

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...
Kimi, it does sound like we have alot in common, I will msg you. =)
John, wow... you've come a long way. We all have in our struggles, I suppose.
And, Looloo thank you as well. Yes... I do hope "This too shall pass."
Right now all I see is grey. This cloud that lingers over my head, heavy and dark. =(
Another day! Another chance!
Thanks you guys!
my best wishes for you.
Even when my parents were alive. They never understood. In their eyes I was week and that was not allowed..period. So I fully understand what you are going through. Especially, in the work force. Having panic make things hellish, having Bipolar disorder sometimes brought me through. If that's believable... Sounds crazy, I know. No pun, really.
=) I think that may be one of my biggest fears. People thinkimg I'm a loon just because I take meds. Aheemmmmmm. I wish I didn't care at all. I never used to care what people thought. Now, my own insecurities have caught up with me.
Thanks for the relpy sweets!
Truth be told... it is time to love Ireland. And... others too, but without negleting myself in hte process. I too believe it is ecosystemic. (childhood, present, surroundings etc...) But I also believe there is a biological contributer to this madness. Like you, both of my parents suffered from one kind of mental illness or another. I hit the genetic jackpot of sorts. JOY! ;) Thank you for saying I am worthy. It means alot to me. And, yes Kimi is a sweetheart! :)
Tonie, yes I do see a P-Doc and I am on meds. Too many, really. =( So I think, anyway. My friends did the same thing. Kinda avoided the subject altogether. Perhaps in hopes, it would all go away and they would have their "Old Ireland Back" As they put it. And I agree with you. I guess they can't really understand. Since they have no idea what it feels like. But I used to always say if you cared enough. Pick up a book, anything. If you love me enough, just try... yanno. =(
Life can be hard. This place seems so great, I wanna pinch myself... he he. You all are very supportive. ;)
I have been through sooooo much. But I am determined to beat this somehow.
And lasly to Brokesoul, thankyou for your assurance, luv and hugs! I will keep my eyes on the stars.
xoxoxoxo
You All Are So Great!
Regards, Ireland
My insurance does not have any support groups. =( I did do an out patient thing, that helped alot but the Insurance will only pay to go for so long. So I hold on to fear life to my therapy sessions. I am going to keep looking though, I am still fairly new to this city.
Ty!! =)
I am sad for you feeling alone.
