Hey Sarajo,
I read your post here and I just want to say that I agree with you about quitting your job. I mean...in the end dear it is...just a job. It isn't worth it if you're getting nothing out of it. Perhaps you could even try not working for a while? Would your finances allow? You could take that vacation and get away for a spell. I also think you might enjoy taking some art courses at college...wouldn't that be cool!? :p
Lighten up on yourself Sarajo. Your friends will still be your friends if you leave the job. If they aren't, they weren't worth having anyway.
Just my opinion.
Andrea ;)

King,
Have you like never felt depressed or anxious before? If you have and you multiply your scariest moment in life by 10, that's what a panic attack is. A person just has to find ways to cope with it and that's what he is/was doing. :|

Hi Sarajo,
I responded to another post of yours already about the job problem, but I thought i'd add one to this.
I love the sound of that cool book you have! Old too...soo cool!
Anyway, i'm not having the best time of it either here the past couple days. The second day into my cycle I got slammed with constant dizziness and then about 4 big attacks in the late afternoon and evening. I took some ativan which helped some, but mostly it was dizziness that wouldn't shake. In the night I had a few that brought me out of sleep. (room spin kind of stuff) :8o: After midnight though, I think I finally went into REM sleep.
I am going to the OBGYN this afternoon to consult with her on some of these hormone issues I am having and to see about some tests. I'll see how it goes.
I hope you get through the rest of the week better. I really think you need a break at least.
Peace,
Andrea
Tiredone, it's never too late to change. At 30 u r hardly over the hill. Habits can be hard to break I know, but I would do your best to start exercising, eat healthier and quit the smoking. Join a gym or something if you lack motivation for exercise. Ring the quitline for your smoking. Take things slowly. And remember you can't die from a panic attack. Good luck!!
Hi Melisa, don't worry, u certainly aren't the only one who thinks like that. I do it all the time. I'm doing it less now and know one day I won't be thinking like this. Nothing lasts forever remember. I know it can be frustrating but u'll be o.k in the long run!! CYA
Hi Shelly02, I've had panic disoder for nearly 2 years. My first 6 months were real hard but since then I've got better and better. Remember u will get better. It just takes time. This is a good site to get tips.

Hi Shea, yeah I know what u mean when you say u fear having another panic attack. Remember though that your body will always protect you, so the more confident you get at knowing that the less you will fear them. Adios!
