Hi, I haven't been here in awhile, I was doing well for quite some time. I have a fear of staying home alone and have made some success over the last couple of months. Well, tonight I just feel horrible at the thought of being alone tomorrow when my hubby goes to work. My other main support person ( my mom) is out of town and this had thrown me in a tailspin. I don't understand though because she was gone for 10 days last December and I did fine, no panic attacks! Now I feel so abandoned, like something awful will happen tomorrow and my hubby will be at work and ill have no one to call or come if I need them. I've never had to have her come over just knowing she was around was enough. Or if I was especially stressed my husband would drop me off at her house on way to work. Again, though that hasn't happened for months!
I know I'm stressed out over looking for a job, I've been out of work for 4 1/2 months. I keep going on interviews and nothing. We're beyond strapped and had to take money from my mom for groceries. I know this added stress is why I'm freaking out now and my husband is tiring of me crying all the time. On top of all this I haven't seen my psychiatrist since November because my husband's employer changed our insurance and had to switch docs, finally will get to see one march 1st. When I was like this before all nervous I would say I could go to the emergency room or god forbid call an ambulance but now we can't afford the medical bills. I've read a lot of posts here and panic cured had the right idea but don't know how or too depressed to implement them. I know panic attacks don't cause you to go crazy but they sure make your life a living hell!

Hi and welcome back. I'm fairly new here but have found it very useful to talk to others like myself and to hear their stories. There is usually always someone to talk to during the week. I think the weekends are slow in here but most people do better on the weekends in general. I have had my bouts with anxiety and panic recently too after being panic attack free for over 4 years. My doc wants to change my BP meds even though my BP is ok when relaxed. He said it would help with BP anxiety and pvcs but it scares me. I haven't started it yet due to this and now I'm weighing my options. If u need someone to chat with I'm on here alot.

Thank you:) I might just take you up on that. I took an extra klonopin to calm down, anticipatory anxiety has always been my biggest problem.

Health anxiety and anticipation anxiety are the two for me.
