starting from scratch

Ladybird,
 
  First I have to start by saying I thought of you the other day.  I seen something that said "LADYBIRD"  on it and it reminded me of you!  :)    I have to say that posting and seeing replies helps build the confidence that you need.  Not just you, I should say that WE need!  I keep telling myself that my panic attacks like last night are a reminder that things could be worse.  It does kind of help some.  I hope that this will help ya!  Try to keep busy!

Thank you Ashley.  I will definitely call my Dr.  Actually I have been trying and it has been busy so I will wait awhile and try again!  I have Bowling tonight so I am hoping I can build up energy to do it!

Lab Results

Thanks Sunny!  I was so exhausted today and during bowling by the 3rd game I was ready for sleep!  I layed my head down on the table and almost fell asleep waiting for my turn.  lol  I had fun even though we only won 1 game and lost 2.

Challenges

 I love your answer "staying alive" Davit!  That is exactly what I would have to say as well.  I have never wanted to die but always feel like I am going to.  I am having several problems right now which adds to the anxiety.  My periods are not normal, I just had one a week and half ago and now starting another one.  This was supposed to be my "one good week a month" and now it is gone.  I am scheduled for Surgery on the 20th of this month as long as insurance covers it.  I will find out for sure by tomorrow.  Of course I am anxious about this as well but I know it will give me a better quality of life.
Sorry I kind of got sidetracked on the question!

Panic Symptoms

Thanks for all of this info Ashley!  I definitely have some of these symptoms, except I usually have a few of them (the symptoms) throughout the whole day.  It is like I have anxiety almost all the time, then at certain times have panic attacks.

Surgery

Well my surgery has been canceled.  My insurance won't cover all of it and apparently they don't think it is medically necessary, which I disagree.  I am now scheduled the same day to have Mirena implanted which should help some of my other health problems, which in turn will hopefully control my hormones and help with my anxiety.

Surgery

Thanks Samantha and Davit!  I actually went to Canada several years ago for my Lasik Eye Surgery...never gave it a thought to go to Canada for something like this!
