I'm still feeling very overwhelmed and panicky from my outing to the doc today. I've had to take a Valium with the hopes that I'll calm down some. While my husband was here, I felt a little better than I do now. Per my usual, as soon as he left for work I closed everything up and locked the door. I know, Anna, I shouldn't do that, but it's just been such a stressful day I just can't face the world. I'm trying so hard to not let this panic get the best of me, but I'm not sure who's winning at this point - me or the panic.

OY!! I hate this!!! Sad

Eh, sweety give yourself a break. Sometimes you just have to lock the door and thats ok. You had a high stress day and your mind is reacting. Try to take a bath and other things that relax you.

I know just how you feel ..sometimes the stress after doing somthing is just as bad as during and before ,it normally hits me the next day and i'm useless for 24 hours.

As for Locking up when hubby leaves..oh I do that too..as soon as he goes out of the door ,and we have two locked doors to the entrace of the building and an intercom system so no one can get in unless I let them..but the apartment door gets locked anyway.

I'm not going to bother to tell you it will pass because you know it..just be good to yourself and recover your way Smile

Show a little love today...tomorrow may be too late

Thank you both so much for the support. It's been a hard, long day and what an emotional strain. I just couldn't help myself when locking up and closing the shades. But the Valium (and Bunnie I live in NH - LOL) did help me to relax and I've just been watching some TV. I just took my nightly meds, had a bowl of oatmeal and will soon turn in for the night. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

Hugs,

Wen

Stay strong, relax and do something that makes you laugh. I know thats the hardest thing to do, but laughing always makes my panic ease up just a little. I too feel horribly panicky whenever i'm all alone. I just want to hide.
Always run towards what you want, never run away from what scares you.
