I feel like I can't breath. It feels like impending doom.

I know its panic attacks, anxiety, and Depression. I have a Daughter who got sick on her 4th Birthday. She had a fever of 106.7, and started seizing for 6 1/2 hours. Then she went into a coma for 3 days. She was diagnosed with Encephalitis due to the West Nile Virus. She has seizures all the time. That's just my normal. The bad crap that was traumatizing was like a domino effect of traumatizing events one right after another since 2010. I will eventually tell my story but for now I just feel like I'm existing and not living any more. It really sucks!!

Thanks for listening/reading.

Wow! I’m so very sorry to hear about your daughter. I used to work in the Pediatric intensive care unit and for the past 5 years did Pediatric home care. I can empathize with what you’re going through...your daughter is fine one minute and in an instant, everything changes. Please feel free to message me anytime you want to talk! I’m working 7a-7p today and tomorrow and then I have 4 days off. I’m hoping for peace of mind for you...

I'm very sorry your having to deal with such a scary and unsettling health issue with your little one....very hard for a parent to see their child suffer.

Oh Robin we are here for you! I have a disabled daughter and parenting is exhausting. I deal with the same things. I hope you can get help to deal with your trauma surrounding your daughter’s illness. Waiting for the shoe to drop is a sure fire way to stir up panic attack’s.
