MDJunction to me

suebaby41"I was recently diagnosed with Recurrent Breast Cancer In The Chest
Wall. I would not be able to handle it as well as I am without the
help of my MDJunction friends. It just proves to me that there are
lots of good people in this world and I am happy to be involved with
MDJunction who seems to have most of them.

Hey everyone I know its been quite awhile since my last post as I have been feeling really well. Really well until a few days ago that is. I am not down and out just not feeling 100%. As some of you may know I am getting married in October and and all the stress that goes with it, I believe is the reason for my current panic and anxiety. I had the first panic attack in 4 months a few nights ago right after I fell asleep. It wasn't major and I got over quickly so all is well. I have been feeling a bit anxious afterwards though. I know its just a speed bump I just feel better when I write my thoughts down, so thanks for reading.

For anyone who hasn't seen my story I will give you a quick breakdown. I have had Panic and Anxiety issues for 11 years on and off. I have gone 5 years without panic or anxiety and recently it has started up again. I know I will overcome as I have 3 times before so take it from me its beatable. Keep positive and ask for help.

Gp2nd,

I thought the bride was the only one stressed out! Smile just kidding, your entering a new life and so much to do before hand, but focus more on why your getting married and how great it will be to have your wife by your side. Smile tackle projects one by one and deligate, everyone always wants to help in the wedding. Smile Congrats and relax it's going to be beautiful. That could be the reason for the recent panics, extra stress. Hang in there, when you look back at it all, after the wedding it would all be worth it, and things should calm down for you.

I am not a Doctor, Nurse or Medical Professional. Im not even Dr. Seuss, Dr. Dolittle or Dr. Dre. :) I only share advice from my own personal experiences with Panic Attack Disorder. It is soley for information purposes only, please continue to take your Doctors advice. I share what I have learned, read, experienced and know what has helped me, I share this information in hopes it will be of help or comfort to someone else. Good luck, Relax, and lets continue to support one another, and conquer panic the best way we can! :)

Good for you that you are getting married!!! And I know for me when a lot is going on panic and anxiety tries to sneak up on me as well. And it sure does help to get it all out. Just being able to tell someone how you are feeling does wonders. Smile
I am not a doctor although wish I was. LOL All of my comments are strictly my opinion only from my own experiences. I am on no medications at the time but have taken medication in the past. So anything I say about medication is only my opinion from the experiences I have had while on medication. Never stop taking or take medication without talking to your doctor first.
