So I made a call Wednesday to our Community Mental Health and now have an appointment next Tuesday for a two hour assessment to see if I qualify for treatment there. UGH.

I am just so sick of these panic attacks, literally every day now and then I'm down for the rest of the day. I can't drive anymore, I don't like to be home by myself. 5 months of this nonsense and I finally made the call to get some help Sad

Does anyone else have this problem? How do you cope? I feel like I lose complete control of my body. Everything goes numb, rapid heart beat, shallow breathing, feel like I'm going to pass out. Its terrifying and I just want to be normal again!!!

Wow. Thank you for sharing and I am so happy for you that you are getting better Smile I am not to that point (yet) which is why I am going for therapy hopefully to nip this now. I feel like a hermit, I don't do anything. Goodness, I can't even imagine 8 years of that, thank goodness you are doing so well now.
