You, my friend, are a brave and noble woman who knows how to live life. When it’s easy and when it isn’t. I am proud to know you in a never having met sort of way. 🙂

Unless you’ve had a panic attack, you really can’t appreciate them. I’ve only had one, and that was plenty. I’m glad you have the supports you do.

It’s always good to know you’re loved no matter what when you’re dealing with something like this. You’re so smart and thoughtful I know you’ll get through it. I also know it’s so difficult to go through something so….seemingly neverending. I’ll be thinking of you.

I have panic attacks, too. It’s hard for everyone.

So sorry to hear that! I sometimes get that when I’m in crowds or speaking. It usually only happens when I imagine things going wrong. I’ve learned how to correct my thinking and it gets better. Sounds like your Unknown Papi is always there for you, and you’re a lucky girl.

Me too. Not the panic attacks…but the issues. I have so bloody many. What the heck is wrong with me? I hope you have a panic attack free remainder of your pregnancy and LIFE. Love, Becky

So sorry to hear that. I get panic attacks during stressful situations, too, rarely though.
You are awesome, and a tough spirit, and I’m sure you will get through this and anything you cope with, and that’s why I love you.

Have a great day!

You’re definitely not alone out there, and I suspect your husband loves you for everything that you are!

Thank you for sharing this with such openness and a honesty. I too sometimes wonder how FM and I get through some of my not-so-good days, but we do. I try not to feel sorry for myself or for him or push him away, but sometimes I can’t help but ask myself, “What the hell is he still doing here?” after I’ve had a spectacular meltdown of some sort.
Yay for the ones who always stand beside us. – G

Ciao all the best for 2011.
I am back at last catching up on all the posts I missed while I was away from computing while on an extended trip to the UK. From reading your recent posts it certainly seems like you have been going through a down period in your life. I truly hope things get better for you during 2011. Stay strong.

Panic disorders suck, but we all have issues.

Max out your meds

You have great boobs and great hair. That counts for something, right? 🙂

I can relate to your husband loving you and living with you and your disorder. My hubby has bipolar disorder and it is part of our family. We deal with it. Your description of the anxiety after an attack that keeps you on pins and needles waiting for the next attack is what strikes me most in your post. Panic attacks are real and they are draining.

Oh Sweetie, I too suffer from Panic and Anxiety Attacks. I used to take Lorazapam for them but now I dont need to. It is very hard to learn how to cope with them when they can be such an overwhelming sensation you almost stop breathing. I was fine during pregnancy and have only had 3-4major attacks since Youngling was born 2 years ago. Thinking of you and well done for openly acknowelging these issues. 🙂 xx

Oh, I’m sorry. I have never had them, but I have a friend who has them often. I know how stressful they are. Hang in there!

If my husband can accept my butt, then I’m sure your husband has no problem loving you with everything you bring to the table. 😉 Trust me on this. Have you seen my butt?

Thanks for sharing this. I had a panic attack last week – first one ever. I was already having trouble breathing, which really freaked me out; my heart started pounding, I almost passed out, thought I was having a heart attack. Three days later and a trip to the ER, turns out I have bronchitis, which accounts for the trouble breathing. There were other things causing me anxiety, and that combined with the lack of air…panic. Scary stuff.

In reply to Tina. Thank you. I don't feel that way. I feel weak and flawed.

In reply to Tettelestai. It does sort of feel like a heart attack. My chest tightens, my heart races, I can't breath, there is far too much adrenaline in my body, I'm terrified....
