Leyla Giselle shoki_de_nai Leyla Giselle I was hospitilized last night. Full info is in my FA joutnal Well, hopefully the medication works for you and if at all possible avoid stress. Stress is a common trigger for pretty much any disorder, and I'd imagine it's be especially in anxiety disorders. Panic attacks can be scary...I've personally never had one but I witnessed one of my best friends having one and it scared the hell out of me. I also strongly suggest therapy, especially if this has been an ongoing problem, as it's more effective than medication in the long run. I'll uh...get off my little soapbox now. sweatdrop I do try to avoid stress, the severe ones I've been having barely started two nights ago. It wasn't like anything I've ever had before. I can't afford therapy. My insurance covers it. I dunno about your situation though. Just be careful; I'm dependent on medication and I wish I weren't.

I can't afford therapy. Feel free to pm me at any time if you need someone to talk to. I went through a period where I suffered from severe anxiety attacks. At the time I had just discovered that I had a heart murmer and was under going tests to find out about that. The added stress of everything left me with crippling anxiety attacks where I thought I was having heart attacks. Mine where often caused by my heart miss firing and having palpatations. Of course then once the anxiety kicked in from the inital palpatations the stress would cause more palps and so on.
Was not a pleasant time and I probably would have gone to the hospital multiple times if it weren't for my father. Thankfully, I had him to lean on during the period. Around the same age as a young adult he had also suffered from anxiety attacks and gone to the hospital several times thinking he was having a heart attack. It was with his help I was able to overcome my anxiety attacks and I haven't had one in ages. I think the most important thing is you must learn to overcome the anxiety attacks. You have to reach a point where you accept that despite the fear and the way you feel, you are not in danger and they are not going to hurt you. The more you stress about the attack the worse it will get and the longer it will take for you to get through it.

******** it all to hell. I was just a complete b***h to my mate. He asked about doing something, I said I didn't want to. He was disappointed, and I told him that maybe he should see how he felt after sleeping without resting for a few weeks and not finding anything enjoyable. He asked why... Now, I'd wanted to explain it to him earlier, like last week. He didn't want me to. I was willing, more agreeable and not as depressed when I offered. Now I'm tired, cranky, depressed and my mind made this connection: He only cares because he's not getting what he wants now. Is it true? Probably not. Did I care? Not at all. What does that have to do with anything? It made me get angry with him. The following was our conversation:
Me: you said you didn't want me to explain Him: Now I do Me: Why? You said it wouldn't make any difference. Him: I don't understand...and I want to Me: so what...you only want to understand when it directly effects you? Him: I told you at the time, I wasn't in the right mindset to understand even if you explained it to me... Me: yeah, well..maybe I'm not in the right mindset to explain it right now. Him: Fine.
And then he left to get himself dinner. I'm horrible. I have however taken the time to cool off, and make a long-a** DA/FA journal entry about my symptoms and a brief explanation causes with a link to Wikipedia.
Edit: He came back, I apologized. We're good now.

Krissim Klaw I'm begining to think I make a bad dog mom. Kirby was out running with me in the backyard earlier today, and he tripped and did a big face plant into the dirt. His muzzle and neck/chest fluff was covered in dirt and all I could do was.... laugh, and laugh. I spent a good ten minutes hunched over laughing and pointing at him. rofl Aww.
Well, if you were also offering him sympathy and a hug at the same time you were laughing, that's fine, I think.
My dogs do similar things. For example, they like to hide under the table and peek out under the tablecloth so it drapes over their heads. Now, this is fine - until a dog standing under the table decides it wants to stand on you. Violet started to jump until her head hit the bottom of the edge of the table, quite hard. She stood there for a moment, pain and confusion in her eyes, while I busted out laughing and beckoned to her to come out. But a moment later, she did it again.
Edit: also, universal single-payer health insurance with reimbursements for all empirically-supported therapy and any experimental therapies that a provider can make a good argument for. None of this for-profit insurance bullshit anymore.
