Last Sunday I started my new medication (Cymbalta 30mg right now).
Monday I had a chiropractor appointment and on the drive there I started having the worst panic attacks I've had in years. I was terrified and 30 minutes away from home all alone. It was horrible but I sucked it up and kept going! I made it to the chiropractor and went through with my appt fine. Once I was back to my boyfriend's house I was okay.
Tuesday was a little better. I had class and no panic attacks thank goodness.
Wednesday my boyfriend & I took a spur of the moment trip to the beach & I was great!
So I think this medication might be doing me good :)
I don't want to get to excited yet because I know it can take 6 weeks to get the full affects.
Just feeling a lot more hopeful & excited.
Thank you to everyone helping me through these hard times.
This is like my safe place & I'm so happy I found you guys :)

One thing that is totally different between my week and yours is the fact that you actually got out of the house and pushed yourself through. That is so admirable! I can't bring myself to do that. I am like a prisoner in this house but I'm working on it.

It's such an inspiration to me to see someone who has this condition and still is able to have a normal life. You are a very strong person! Good for you!

Yay sumgirl! That is the best. And to have a beach to escape to.... That can work wonders for your progress! Keep smiling! :)
