How's Your Day Been? Each Day is Different, So Make Your Mark Daily

I think what is triggering is a thought/fear. You know how rough it felt last night. You just quit your meds recently and suddenly you had to take a pill to pull you out of a bad one. Combined with fearing an attack (which that in itself is enough to trigger some doozies) but that added with fearing it and having to take pills you want to quit are combined. Add those up... Instant panic attack. Just keep reminding yourself these are normal withdrawal symptoms and panic attacks don't kill, your mind is only toying with you. Your symptoms are normal even if they suck. Keep reminding yourself this is normal and positive talk. Good luck, I know how bad it sucks.

Thanks V. I figured out part of it, when ever I get dizzy I think I'm going to have another seizure.. as they always start out with me feeling dizzy, so the panic attacks make me dizzy then I panic that the dizziness is actually a seizure so then I get more panicky etc etc.. I have my eeg this friday and that's probably half of it too.. Plus all the normal brain screwing with you.. ugh..
Normal, it's normal, I am not dying.. LOL must repeat that lots right now...

Hey Veiled & Bec

Sorry to hear you aren't feeling the best at the moment, big hugs to you both!

Hubby said that they are all feeling crappy in hosp this week too. I reckon that it may be because a full moon is due in a day or two.

Might try to sneak humphrey in to cheer him up!

I have had a very rough day I have been getting these audible flashbacks that were initially not that upsetting but now they are driving me crazy its soloud and so vivid I cant keep going like this I need to feel better I cant get any sleep, I cant and don't eat anymore not that I should get upset about lossing weight but its to much too fast I want to crawl in a hole and hide right now I dont want to deal with anything, im lossing it in fact I may have lost it. IM not feeling well either Have a horrible cough and fever I just wish that I could find a way to get rest from both me and the world

Uck I'm getting those wierd electrical sensations. It feels like there are jolts being zapped through my head! Just looked up Zoloft again, and sure enough the zaps and the dizziness are withdrawal symptoms.. which of course are increasing the panic attacks.. ARGGGGGGGGGGGG...:angry-fla:angry-fla

I'm not impressed....

Zoloft is used to hold panic attacks at bay too...

Mouse, I hope it eases for you soon, you are getting through the thick of it right now. But you are getting there. You are moving forward, don't hide but certainly rest.

Well today after reading so much in the last 36 hours, my brain feels like it might explode. I have not slept very well either. It is 3:30 am here and my son will be up in 2 hours. Bad day today. Cried twice as well, haven't in weeks.

Mother-In-Law is due here in 6 hours or so. (it's 6 a.m. right now)
I'm trying hard not to stress about the cleanliness of my house.
Even though it is fairly clean, I know the MIL house is always spotless!

Thanks for the encougarment Veiled, i do so badly want to hide in a big hole and just let things happen, i sometimes cant believe that people feel like I am making any progress, allIknow is that I must stop some of these thoughts and feeling. See my Dr, today hope I can handle this especially with the fact that I have no voice. Really sexxy voice now

today went blah....Nothing exciting! I was tired, lazy, unmotivated, a bit nervous and yet overall, I seemed to enjoy every minute of it.

The first Doc appointment starts in 2 hours.
I look forward to every Thursday, (heck I'm usually counting down the days)
But the extra energy and travelling makes me dread it at the same time.
Plus the whole anxiety of being in public (waiting rooms) makes me want to crawl back into bed

Hope your appointment went well YA!
