Hi, I am new to this group. I have Fibro and suffer from anxiety and panic attacks. I have two children and one Akita :)

Nice to meet you WeepyOne and Bittersweet! I'm sorry I am just checking in, I've had my daughter and her family living with me for the last few months so I didn't have a lot of time for the group. I'm here now though and I just sent out a group email to let everyone know to come and check in and discuss current events such as the 9/11 rememberances and so on. Please feel free to start a new thread, I tried to post one but it isn't showing up right now. Thanks for joining our group!

Hi Everyone, I'm Scott and I have a pretty messed up head. I'm married but getting a divorce. I have depression, anxiety, schizophrenic, and just plain crazy. I just found out I have a sezier disorder. My wife doesn't understand one thing that is going on in my life. Instead of finding out what is going on in my head she decided that she would rather just leave. Oh well enough about that. I need some friends who know what is going on with me and wont run when I panic. It's hard to keep friends when they don't understand that I can't control the fear. It hits me like a brick. I went out with a friend a few years ago. We went to the mall to buy some music. My friend asked if I would mind if he stopped and got a haircut. I said no and joined him in a haircut. The lady was half way done on one side of my head and i had a panic attack and ran out of the mall. I have never seen that friend again. imagine that. I never had the guts to go back to that place again. I think I might still have the cape they put on you before they start cutting.
anyway enough about me....

Hi everyone, my name it Ally and I am 42 living in Tennessee. I am married and have 3 dogs that are like my children. I have been having severe panic attacks for the past 3 months. I am ready to make some major changes in my life, but then the panic/anxiety began. Now I feel stuck and unable to make any changes or plans. I know a lot of this has to do with a disabled husband who is biplolar and the fact that 2 of my dogs are old and one is not doing very well. The thought of losing them sets me into a full fledged panic attack. Its good to know I'm not alone.

Hi Everyone, My name is Scott. I have been having panic attacks for a few years now. My wife doesn't understand what is going on with me so she decided she wants a divorce because I'm crazy.
I have been seeing my doctor for a few years and have a lot under control but every so often I panic and just want to run and hide. I was doing respite work with special needs kids and one day I had a panic attack and almost crashed my car into on coming traffic. After that I was afraid to do that work anymore because I'm afraid I will get one of those kids killed. I could never live with myself If that would happen. This is ruining my life. My wife will not listen to me about my fears and what brings them on. She will be moving out soon and taking my 2 small daughters with her. I don't know what to do! Will this shit ever end?

I am Tru. I am 34 years old and I have panic attacks and excessively worry... I dont have friends i think because i lack confidence Or i either over talk or just act like a dork.. I have two darling dogs who are my four legged furbabies.. I have panic attacks when i am nauseated and sometimes when i am stressed or super worried.. I have panic attacks about twice a week. They vary from big ones to a tiny attack.. The scary ones are the panic attacks i get when i am asleep and i wake with one..I also worry A LOT!!! I am here to maybe make friends .. Hopeing i can make friends..

I'm Sade here like everybody else. I don't know how to cope with this problem. I'm 26 and it's totally consuming my life. I have so many negative thoughts that it's something serious wrong with me. No one in my family understands me at all. So I'm here to hopefully able to chat with ppl who go threw life as I am now.

Hi I'm Lisa I'm 25 from the UK for the last month I have been suffering with panic attacks and I've been told that I have an anxiety disorder which sometimes with the amount of weird sensations I get I find it hard to believe. I'm taking dizapan and propofanol and also just started councilling.

Hello , my name is Tammy AKA Years (Years of tears) I just posted my story a couple days ago on the discussion board titled "Breaking my silence " I have been diagnosed with PSTD due to a bad car wreck that caused a spinal cord injury 3 years ago. I also developed SEVERE panic and anxiety attacks and become depressed due to the attacks being so severe that I have become agoraphobic and may only be able to "force" myself out of my home twice a week to buy groceries, Physical Therapy , pay bills and doctor appointments. I have gotten so bad with the panic attacks that I have been considering inpatient care to see if that can help as a last resort. I was just prescribed Propranolol 40 mg once a day along with Clonazepam 1 mg once a day and am hoping that I will be able to remain in my home without hospitalization. I have one son that just turned 18 years old..he has Autism , Mild Mental Retardation and a very rare complex neurological condition called Kleine-Levin Syndrome. We have 3 dogs Harley (Female) , Shadow Jr. and Bernabe (both males) . Life has been extremely difficult since my father passed and most recent my son's father. I was not married to my son's father and we didn't have a good relationship where my son was concerned...I just worry a lot that "WHAT IF" I need help with my son....he's no longer here to be able to call upon...so....I feel "stuck". We live in Texas close to Houston and most of our family lives in Ohio..so..no support...It has taken A LOT for me to finally "Cave in" and go public with my condition....many of my friends don't even know about it and how badly I suffer daily...I am hoping to meet some awesome friends here to support and gain support as well.. I had many hobbies' before my accident and would LOVE to get back to them and then some...I am trying to take baby steps at the moment as well trying to heal my body and mind from the trauma I have endured. I joined this group in hopes to make each day that comes a brighter day and to find hope and understanding. I'm excited to get to know every one and learn as much as I can! Hope every one is having a good day!!!!! Years.

Hi! My name is Amanda. I am 32 years old, live in Kentucky, am married to my wonderful hubby Patrick and I have an 18 year old son, Zachary. I have my MBA and a degree in Accounting. Unfortunately, mental illness doesn't discriminate.
My chief complaint is panic attacks although I also have depression and if you read a medical chart there's some hogwash in there about a "non specified personality disorder". WTF does that mean?
Anyhow, I have been a sufferer for over 20 years. I have good days and I have bad days. I've recently had to quit working because it's just too much to handle. I'm on meds, but I unfortunately cannot afford to see my "crazy" doctor or my counselor. Can't get assistance because my husband makes too much money. It's crazy that we pay $600 a month for basic insurance and can't afford medical care. Enough ranting.
I hope to be able to help and to get help when needed! Hoping this is an active group!
