Good evening, I'm Jessica! It's a pleasure to meet you all and it's a giant relief to finally find a forum among people who are alot like me. Like everyone else on here, I've got these sort of issues and I need help recovering.
I have a panic disorder, and I'm taking Zoloft (a very low dose once a night), and it stabalizes me...but only a little. I have people in my life who stand beside me whenever they can, but my parents need sleep, and my friends aren't always awake at 3:00 AM. Every one of my panic attacks happen at night...and I hate it.
A little about personal me. I turn 18 in just a few weeks (August 20th) and I'm going into college. I'm quiet, and I tend to hold in my emotions. The holding in may be a part of my anxiety, one that I'm working on.
I do my best to look on the bright side of life but I balk at the sight of blood, and I'm terrified of pain. Heart attacks are common in my family, though I have been assured time and time again that I'm perfectly healthy.
My very first panic attack I spent alone, pacing in my room, and it lasted all night and well into the afternoon. My parents didn't find out until four days later when another one struck. I feel AWFUL for keeping them up at night when I have a panic attack, but I hate being alone worse.
I found this place on Wikipedia. Tonight I'd decided I'd had enough and went to go looking at the anxiety/panic attack information. I laughed at myself - this was no heart attack, this was just PANIC!!! Wow, it was insanly relieving.
...Even though that's what everyone has been trying to get into my head for the past year. Wow, it's been a year since my first panic attack...time goes by fast when you're having to deal with this insanity!
I hope I get to know you all soon. May we help each other make panic scurry away in terror! :D Everyone knows we deserve to make it cower beneath us!
