Hello everyone, I don't usually post in forums so I'm sorry if I'm awkward.
I had my first full blown panic attack in August and now I have one almost every day. I ended up in the ER, then fully hospitalized. I've run the gamut of mental health programs. Partial hospitalization, outpatient, now support groups...
Recently I have had to leave work early or stay home from work. I've missed my friend's birthday celebration because I didn't want to be in public when another panic attack hits out of nowhere.
I feel like I'm losing my life to anxiety. I am in therapy and trying meds... I don't mean to be a complete downer. I have great friends, & a supportive family. I like my job and I'm working on college. I love music, books, writing, video games, walking in nature, spending time and laughing with my friends. I am not always anxious or depressed. I have great things in my life.
I think trauma and stress have caused my panic disorder... Now I want to do what I can to get better, or at least get better at coping and be able to function.
I feel so low, but I want to say hello to folks here and try to be a supportive person to anyone else who experiences anxiety or panic attacks. I hope you're all having a good day. You are not alone and there is hope. :) Take care
