This place seems great. I really like it so far. Everyone seems very welcoming. I will post more later...not sure I am totally comfortable sharing my life story yet. But y'all seeem like a nice crowd.
I am new too. Losing your meds is going to be tough. But having a baby would be so rewarding. Sometimes I fight my fears by telling myself I am tough. LOL it sounds super silly but I get mad at what I am scared of. see, for you, you could say I am doing it for my little baby and NOTHING is going to get in my way. I will not let fear get me because I have to fight for my future child......lol it's worth a shot
they say courage is not the absense of fear but still moving forward dispite the fear. To me you seem very courageous.
I think you were very brave too walrus!!!!! Interviews are so scarey,,,even when I know I am good for the the job i still feel incredibly nervous,,,i just keep thinking what if I turn red, what if I stutter,,,,,then it happens and it reinforced the fear. But I know friends of mine who just avoid interviews altogether....Obviosuly this is not a good career move and they are depressed they cannot excell in the workforce. So at least you are still trying. You deserve a big CONGRATS!
WHat you are explaing is definately a panic attack. They are really scarey but I have learned to recognize them for what they are. They are scarey but you are not going to die or loose ur vision u are just going to be scared and a little messed up for a few minutes. LOL when I look at it like that I find I have less ofthem. I also try to manage my stress level because that often triggers it too. Hope this helps.
I am very embarressed by my mental illness. And it makes me angry when I know people this it is all in my head and I could jsut snap out of it if I wanted to. I hate how people look at me when they see that I am scared. I feel like screaming I have panic I am not crazy.. but then they would think I am more crazy LOL
How do others deal with what others think about panic?
I am happy your busy. It is nice that you have got a real good handle on how you are going to manage your anxiety, nice!
