I haven’t had a proper panic attack for a while it was just the not being able to catch my breath that made me really panicky and when it’s like that it’s hard to do the ‘do your worst thing’. I have been better at dealing with it it was just a whole lot of things together that conspired to make it a perfect storm. Period due tomorrow, not taking the lorazepam this morning, worrying about how that was going to go and then having the panic attack making me think all my wurst thoughts had come true (ie citalopram not doing anything, only lorazepam making me feel better). And for some weird reason I’m always bad on Fridays!! It’s been about 4 weeks now that I’ve been more tearful depressed and anxious on Friday,
