Im posting here today just to get some thoughts from fellow sufferers...a bit of a background first...I've had panic attacks and anxiety since i was 6 years old I've learned to live with it. This past year though has been very very hard, since the swine flu scare last year....since then every symptoms I have is the worst case scenario, I can't breath I'm dying, my heart jumped, I'm having a heart attack, my stomach hurts, I have cancer, I see flashes of lights in my eyes and I'm dizzy, I have a brain tumor..I never use to be like this...It's gotten so bad that I can't go outside to a mall which I love, because I think I'm going to die when we go out and I get dizzy and scared, I also am scared to eat because I think I've become allergic to food. I want to look forward to things again...and just be normal and happy..
My issue is, ppl tell me, "you're fine just get over it, its easy."
Do you think if I could just "get over it" I WOULD!! $#%^&@ Do you think I WANT to live this way?!?!? I wish for one day they could live my life and experience the fear I go thru everyday, and then see if they would still tell me to simply get over it....
Does anyone else run into ppl trivializing their fears and symptoms? simply because they think you are making it up or that you should just get over it? How do you react to that?
