Hello,
I am new here and I am hoping that I can find some help w/o taking drugs.
I have been prescribed Celexa. I will explain my situation briefly.
It all started with a shopping trip and ending up with Diarrhea ( I have IBS-D)
I would keep from going anyplace because of this problem and fearing an accident.
Now I have the Diarrhea under control with a drug and it seldom bothers me, but
now I don't want to leave the house. I go to the grocery and get panicky, I go to
parties and have panic feelings not attacks, its like I can't get out fast enough.
I go and have to wait in line at stores and I feel anxious and feel like I want to
run out of the store. Waiting for me in any situation is not possible, I get so
upset. I have not yet done anything crazy while this has been going on
because I talk myself out of it. I can manage so much better when I am with
my husband or my kids. I can't go anyplace w/o these feelings. I find it is just
easier to stay home from family functions or shopping or travel. I get in my
car and I instantly feel anxiety come upon me. I don't go anyplace alone.
When I do get this way I feel that the diarrhea is coming on and have to find
a restroom and then the real anxiety comes on.
I don't want to live this way anymore. Home is my safe place.
I almost missed my daughters college graduation because of this, we did
leave as soon as she got her diploma, I felt so bad about that and not
being able to see the whole ceremony, there are other stories as well.
OK, so much for being brief. Sorry!
