Dit"I've been a grateful member here for over 4 yrs this place has changed my life of course for the better, coming to the groups has enabled me to no longer feel so alone.

I used to have a lot of 'lows' since becoming member here at MdJunction I no longer have these lows." (Dit)

This video is just a little background on me and what I've been going through. I am terrible at telling stories so I'm sorry about that, haha. I plan on doing another one soon. Smile

Thanks for posting this. I can not believe you got hauled away to the hospital in an ambulance, of course it was a panic attack. I'm sure they're just playing it safe but the odds of it being a heart attack or anything else serious at your age is rare. Ps, I loved the movie Inception!

Hi Megan thanks for sharing your video. Like Whitney said, I am very surprised they took you to the hospital, not many young people have heart attacks... I look forward to your next video. Smile

Also, I love when you said you'd rather be dealing with something physical than mental. I say this ALL the time. At least physical you are 100% in the doctors hands and you can still DO things and not live in total fear. AGREED.

Whitney, you enjoyed that movie?! You are crazy! Haha, I'm kidding. I don't know why I had such a bad reaction to that movie. But thank you for your sweet comments. And thanks to everyone else who watched as well! I hope my next video will be a little better. Smile

Megan I loved your video.

I started watching it last night and I couldn't stop I wanted to hear your whole story-you do a very good job of telling it.

Your panic attacks sound absolutely horrible.

And the fact that they come out of the blue in the way they do too-that is the factor that made me feel it was physical because I wasn't doing anything at the time that should have brought on such extreme symptoms.

Welcome and hope to hear more from you.

Summer vacation has started-yahoo!
