I go through anxiety so bad that it’s no longer a panic attack but an actual state of mind it never goes away. I take klonipin which definitely works but I end up taking too much of it I run out and end up in the hospital because of withdrawal. It seems like the longer you take it the more you need. I feel trapped with no way out most of the time. I can’t go to the store anymore either I have my groceries delivered. Three years ago my 19 year old beat me up pretty bad kicked me in the head repeatedly I ended up with a brain bleed, a severe concussion and 9 staples in my head I almost died. He did 3yrs in prison and I can’t get over over this! I went to therapy for 3yrs and it didn’t help at all they just kept giving me more medication and I don’t want that. I used to be a very outgoing person and now I feel like I’m in a shell and don’t know how to get out! My son had severe anger issues and just snapped! Unless you live with panic you never understand how bad it really is and very hard to explain. People don’t understand it and it makes me feel cut off from everyone. I haven’t dated in 4yrs because I feel like someone else wouldn’t understand. I have a 25yr old son with autism and he keeps me going. He’s a great son and person. I have to be here for him and I do my very best. If anyone can help me find a way to deal with this better I’d appreciate your support and opinion. I hope you start to feel better. Prayers and hugs for you
