Hello..
I'm wade, a 24 year old male from North Carolina, usa.. I have been using this site to over come, and ease my anxiety for almost a year now.. typically if I'm home, and I have a panic attack.. here it the first place I come, to read my symptoms and convince myself that I'm okay... I just now decided to register me a user name for some reason.. the thought never crossed my mind before now.
I have been having panic attacks for almost three years. this year has been the easiest of the three, so I hope I'm over coming my problem. Mostly what happens is I feel disconnected or cloudy, and soon after I develop a severe severe worry about something.. If its stormy out, I think a tornado's about to hit.. if I'm driving, I think I'm going to wreck, if nothing like that is apparent I just think I'm going to have a heart attack.
They started about 2 years after my mother and grandmother died, and it was also about a month after I got married. I was also using drugs pretty heavily during this period to cope.. after about a month of having the attacks I stopped all the drugs I was doing. Now it has been about 2 years since I've drank a drop of alcohol, and I have even cut caffine out of my diet.
Sometimes I feel as if I'm a slave to my own mind though, because I cant go out and have a drink when I have the desire, or miss out on other things because I have to "Keep my anxiety in check."
Anyway.. thats who I am, and that is my situation.
thanks for reading all this if you made it through.
