This is not a cut and paste status. This is a view into what it is like to live with anxiety and panic. I woke this morning feeling perfect, went to work, and nothing happened. And then it hit,out of nowhere. Tunnel vision, hyperventilating, every muscle taut to the point of pain. Nothing happened to cause this. Its just panic. A friend described it as fight or flight syndrome on crack. Only, you cant fight it, and you cant run from it. Give it time, and it will subside; thats the only answer. Its a physical response to a mental stimulus. Keep telling yourself that. And then it fades, and you get euphoric because you finally feel human again. I dont think there is a drug in the world that could mimic that level of safety and surety. Until the afteraffects kick in. Im exhausted, physically and mentally. My hair hurts. Everything hurts. I live with anxiety and panic; I know the cycle, and I promise you that I will be normal again. If you have ever had a panic attack, you get this. If you havent, I hope youve learned something. Be gentle with us, dont tell us everything is going to be okay, just be there for whatever we tell you that will make us better. Even if it sounds irrational. (salt shakers..)
