MDJunction to me

djfilippone"Before I found this site I felt so alone.  Watching my daughter struggle with IH and being treated like she had two heads from doctors.    I have plenty of family and friends but there was nobody that really knew what she was going through.
I not only have support and love from others who will listen and share their
story, but I have made some forever friends.  Having this support site does make a difference to many.

Jul 01 2010

I was handling it pretty good. I was running 3 times a week, Walking when I could. I had gained alot of mobility back and wasn't afraid to go distance driving as much and hadn't had a panicattack in a while. My devotion to yoga and meditation was helping me to end the constant cycle. I had gone out in crowds and practiced it over and over again and was making progress.  I dont understand it. We had gone to see a movie and about halfway thru my face turned red.  I could feel it getting flush and suddenly it felt like I couldn't breath and my chest felt sore (thoughts of heart attack). I was gasping for air and got up immdiatly to leave going to the bathroom area. Of course my worse dred came upon me and somehow I had 'been poisioned' by the peanuts (DAMN that stupid inner child). I quickly rationed that off and got a drink of water. I went into the toilet area thinking I was going to vomit but nothing came of it and I relized all along I had been having another grusome panic attack. ARGGHHEEE

Crowds, Theatre, AHHH. It hit me that everything was OK. Just another panic attack in a slew of nasty little buggers. Went back to see the ending of Toy Story 3.. I know I know.. but you should have seen how many adults all alone had gone to see it. At least I wasn't alone.

KAPOW Michael???!!!!
Oh come on my good friend. You know what this is. This is the nature of the beast! It sits quietly, sometimes for years and we get comfortable, cocky even and then KAPOW!
So what? Put it behind you. Now you know you can! You have done it before. I had a massive setback about 3 years ago. I was shocked! I did not have a full blown panic attack for ages and then BOOM! It was a terrible feeling to be reminded that the monster is not quite gone but I was able to put it behind me when it was all done. A road to recovery is not smooth but you ARE on your way there so don't even think about allowing this to get to you. Over, done with, forget about it!!!! smilies/wink.gif
