debbi i will most definatly say a prayer for you because i think everyone needs a little help once and awhile i wish you much luck and you'll be okay you must be really scarred right now but you can get through it try like others said keeping busy, taking things one at a time like focusing on what your going to do for ten minutes than move on to something else helps me settle my nerves a bit having a stress ball or something to kind of channel my feelings into helps me at points to good luck hun

Lauren, I am going to try to stay busy, I see a therapist {just started} along with my psych nurse, my husband acts very concerned and loving when they are around, but I know they said they see right through him, I will try to stay busy, I must not panic. Deb.

Debbie Do you have anything to keep you busy? I find that when I keep busy, I am less likely to get anxious and panicked. A favorite movie to watch, take a walk, organize a closet? It might help you a little. What about therapy? Have you tried it? Maybe a threapist could help you explain your feeling to your husband or bring him along with you. Good luck.

Yes nopicnik I think that is exactly what my husband feels, I wish he would take me in his arms and comfort me but he says he will not "enable me" that all I want is pity and its the "debbie show" it really hurts the more he shuns me and is mean to me the more I seem to panic, I am avoiding him this weekend which I am sure he appreciates, I have severe panic disorder, I thought I was "cured" or at least better, but had a major relaspe in Jan, due to health concerns and changes in my body and a pregnancy scare that would have been bad because my husband does NOT want another baby {We have a special-needs son} I am trying so hard to hold it together. THank you for your reply, Debbie.

Debbi - This may be totally out of place for me to say, but it sounds like your husband is contributing to your panic. If someone I loved and relied on made me say "I must NOT panic this weekend" I would DEFINATLY panic just knowing that pressure was there! People like us need understanding, patience, and kindness. NOT pressure to not panic! Why is your husband "disgusted" with you? Because you suffer from panic attacks and that makes his life difficult? Let us know... -P-

Hi Everyone, I was wondering if everyone could say a little prayer for me, I must NOT panic this weekend, my husband is so totally and completly disgusted with me he has threatned to take our son and leave, he is so mad I thought he was going to strike me yesterday, he did not nor has he ever but he clenched his fist and got so red in the face and blew up, I am still having abdominal pain and nausea shakiness etc.... but I am trying So hard to control it, the pregnancy scare really knocked the wind out of me, I feel like my husband put me in this position and now is faulting and blaming me for his actions, even through I do not want to lay blame on him, I have been praying very hard just to get through today and tomm Easter Sunday without losing it. I am not going to take my Zoloft today because that makes me so much more panicky, Paxil worked so much better but my nurse will never put me back on that because of weight gain, perhaps without the Zoloft and less coffee I will be alright, if everyone could say a prayer and encourage me I would appreciate it, I stand to lose everything and I cannot lose my son, he is the only thing that keeps me going! I have an appt Wed evening, and I just pray its not cancer or an ectopic preg the test could not read. Thanks guys, I just have to get through the day. Deb.
