Hi Guys,
So... Here's my story. I hit my head last year and with doing so came a lot of additional issues I never thought I would have. I hit my head and went to the ER on two separate occasions before they admitted me. Turns out the CAT-Scan and MRI was fine but the injury was shutting my body down. Couldn't walk or feel my arms. In addition Vertigo was my new best friend, I knocked those nodes loose.
The holiday season came and I had a panic attack, at the time I didn't know what it was. Just the symptoms alone I called 911 went to hospital. They asked the basic questions, then are you bi-polar or stressed. I said who isn't stressed in these times and was referred to a therapist. I looked at the referral and shoved it in my bag. I thought I was fine. Please who needs a therapist. Time went by and on January 2nd went back to he ER, had another panic attack. It was the same feeling and sensation. Just never knew it was a panic attack. Finally after some more tests the doctors sent someone to me who explained what was happening. She told me if I didn't get help, it would get worse. She scared me straight.
Now I've been in therapy for about 3 months. I have been suffering from migraines and minor panic attacks, fine. I have noticed as of late that the attacks also happen when I'm in a small space surrounded by people. No one can ride the elevator with me, if they do they have to be on the other side. I tried going to church for the first time for palm sunday and I couldn't stand the crowd around me I started trembling and had to leave to get some air. I went back after the crowd wasn't around the entrance. I haven't taken public transportation and just the thought of it while talking with my therapist sent my body into panic mode. It's really making me angry. I never had any issues like this before I hit my head. It's really starting to scare me and I decided to join an anxiety site to see if I can pick up some pointers and just chat to calm my nerves. :(
Thanks for reading :)
