Well, here is my mental breakdown update


20 years ago 0 377 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
As I stated earlier in a different post I have had some very awful days this week and last with panic attacks. We have had some big family life changes here and a very sick child and I could not cope. I think my biggest problem was that since we started our move 2 weeks ago, I had been off my Lexapro. At first I forgot, then misplaced it, and at that point I still felt okay and did not worry about it. THEN the panic attacks set in full force. So, I have got a new Rx and starting up on it again after 2 weeks. Just as before the anxiety is higher right now but I keep trying to remind myself "this is normal, you know this. It will pass..." I pray that in a few more days these emotions will pass and the medication will do its job. It has always worked well for me but I understand now the importance of taking it and not getting off of it. I feel like I am starting from square one again. LAST NIGHT: we were at the mall. There was just so much noise and light and people talking all around me. I had this image of me sliding down the wall with my hands over my ears and rocking back and forth~! LOL!!!!! But then I figured they would call the white coats to come get me. :confuse:
