Panic mode

[LucyLou]

I had an appt today and it was to do with ongoing back pain....my friend was supposed to come with me but she couldn't make it. So I had to go on my own and once I got there, I just went in to panic mode. My heart was racing, I was shaking, had to work to control my breathing and just wanted to cry, whilst I was in waiting area and it wasn't even a bad appt! Why am I like this?! I just felt ridiculous

This has happened to me so many times especially after my first loss of consciousness seizure.

you’re reaction is technically normal although annoying draining etc.

Take it easy any way you can is my best advice and comfort yourself.

What do you find soothing usually?

Aw...I'm sorry.

Why am I like this?! I just felt ridiculous

This happens to me every time I schedule and every time I go to a medical appointment. It's awful!

I quit asking that. And got a script for benzo's. Because......all medical appointments are stressful for me, and the dentist.......yeah, not good and it starts when I see the appointment on my calendar....really.

So - benzo's. Use them when you REALLY need to. They are a tool so you can do things you need to do, and not have a rotten day afterword.

Because you have PTSD?

Broken stress response. Easy things are hard, hard things are easy.
