When you wake up in the morning... lay there for a moment peacefully... and then start thinking you're breathing weird and you think it's because you're allergic to something and then you think you might have an allergic reaction so you start gasping for MORE breath and then start panicking even worse...

and then take an Ativan to calm down just a bit.

When you know you should be USED to Walmart, but you go there with your sister's fiance and start getting jelly legs as soon as you walk towards the entry doors... and the panic begins to flair as you walk towards a basket to hold your things.. . and you have to keep stopping every 30 seconds to distract yourself (looking at DVD's or clothes or jewlery or purses just to calm down)and make yourself "fall in love" with Walmart again to keep the panicky thoughts AWAY...

oiiiiiiiiiiiii I was having a panic attack tonight but talked myself out of it!!!!

Well really I found the craft section and was forced to leave the store practically LOL else I would have stayed for hours just staring and putting all SORTS of things into my carrying basket!!!

A negative start with a positive outcome.. hehe

When you stay inside the house and leave only a couple of times all weekend and don't do anything fun cuz you're too scared of panicking in public or social situations.

Hi everyone, I hope you all are doing alright tonight.

You know you have panic attacks when you see some one you know in the store and you dive into the aisles to hide from them.  So you don't have to talk to them.  Yes, I did this tonight.  My heart was racing. 

Happy Holidays

Beth

~When you dred christmas because there will be so many people in one room, loud, a thousand different conversations going on, none of which you are a part of.
~And for me, resently being out of the hospital, everybody will be hugging me and asking me how and am and want to know whats wrong so I'll have to tell the story over and over.

~Having NO christmas gift shopping done because that would mean getting out.

~depending on ativan to get you through the day

You can say to them all at one time '
'I am doing great lets enjoy the holidays "
Not worry about presents
Make collages outta family pics for ppl or other crafts easy and from the heart

You dont have to DEPEND on the ativan hun try to do other things like reading listening to music creative things for presents ect ........

I cut self down from 3 a day or more if needed to now I take when needed only and I have been on them for many many yrs in fact when they first were brought out

Good luck and ENJOY the Season and Holidays / Family

We are here for you
