let me start by apologising for the lack of caps and punctuation i am terrible at typing

hello my wife and i and our son live with my parents. ive had panic disorder for 12 years. it was really bad from 2004 till 2009 but i was doin really well the last year and a half. then my mom collapsed on the floor last thursday and my son found her she ok now they said it was acute respitory failure related to ambien and pneumonia and i have been a complete mess since then. ive been in a constant state of panic since. even though she is home and doing ok i just cant get rid of this constant fear. i have many of my own health problems other then panic disorder wich do not make it any better as im sure everyone knows its just the most awefull feeling in the world to be terrified constantly i called my doc today and asked to be put back on the meds i was takin before i started feeling better still waiting to hear back :weep: i hope this site helps me this is my 1st post thank you :) id like to add that i have severe sleep apnea and use a cpap machine when i sleep because i cant breath when im asleep my biggest fear for years is that i will pass out and not be able to breath so this incident has really affected me i would not want my son to be the one to find me if something were to happen to me and i cant stop thinking about this thanks again to everyone that posts its good to know im not alone
