So some of you may have read my previous posts. I was severely depressed July-Aug. During that time I was not only *******, but had re-occurring intrusive thought. Falling ******* in an elevator was most prevalent. I would pray for God to let it happen and end my suffering.
Well Friday at work I got into the hospital elevator I've used hundreds of times before, pushed the button to go to the 3rd floor, the doors shut , then SHAABAMMMM.[color="black">The] 8 feet. It took over 2 1/2 hours to get me out.

Well, I'm freading out. Yea, I'm a little more than sore, but with being a fibromite I'm used to a little pain. The problem is I don't know if I'll ever be able to get into an elevator again. I wrote to one of those online doctors and he said "ya just need to forget it" (I'll be polite on this site and not tell you what I said back, I had to pay for that answer, he/she can @!?%&**.

I was given Percocet which is taking care of most of the pain. I was also given Ativan. Now usually I don't like medications that make me feel loopy and unable to react appropriately, but this is better than the overwhelming sense of forboding I have. I don't want to be near anybody. Feels chlostrophopic even out side.

Anyone got any ideas for me? Are there any online sites where I could have live chats with someone? Was the online doctor right and I'm overreacting and just need to forget it (if so how do I start). I'm confused.

Hi Stacey, you've been through quite a shock! surely every fiber of your body has been in distress.

I do think everything has a rythm and a time and that it is needed of you to let this thing (event and emotions related to it)progress by itself.

As they say, for a fruit to attain maturity, it must go through cycles.

The same applies here, rythm and time is needed for you to put it behind, when the time is due. It will pass.

As for the coincidence, I cant pronounce myself.

I hope you feel better soon,  Charlie

Stacey,

I had to edit you post as some subject are excluded on the forum. This in now way lessens your pain or anxiety from your experience.

I agree with Charlie, with time you will calm down and perhaps with a friend, be able to enter the or a elevator again. This can not be rushed it will be in your time.

If it starts to effect you life, as not leaving the house, then you should see a therapist. Yes, it was frightening, however, thousand of people have experienced the same thing and moved on, you weren't seriously hurt and you CAN put this behind you.

Peace and strength
Trina
