just need to talk

I finally started trying to get out this week and yesterday I went to see one of my friends in town and I had horrible anxiety but I made myself go anyways and I had a good time. And today I went out with another friend and I had overwhelming anxiety and just dread twice while I was driving but I powered through it because I wanted to be a good friend and actually be present when we were hanging out but I kept getting that anxiety and dread feeling. But I forced myself to stay out and try to have fun and I did but now that I’m home in bed I’m struggling with my anxiety again. I was able to get my medication refilled today so I took that before bed but I know it’s going to take a day or two until it really gets into my system and starts helping. I’m just tired and I want to sleep. I did fall asleep for a little while but then I woke up feeling like I couldn’t get a full breath so I’m dealing with a panic attack now.

How are you feeling?

Great job on pushing through the anxiety and getting out.

Had you run out of medication? You mentioned you were just able to get it filled

Yeah I’ve been out for about two weeks. I was able to get it refilled yesterday.

I just want to get out sometimes and see my friends. I don’t like staying around the house a lot. But I also have social anxiety so I struggle to get out of the house.

I was wondering if not having your meds made this worse for you?

[Bluecatbooklover in reply to Dolphin14]

It does. I was having really bad panic attacks nearly every night for a few months last year. And the medication doesn’t necessarily make them go away but it does help to keep them from happening as often and when I’m out of the medicine I start having the attacks more frequently. I had finally gotten them under control for a little while and then I ran out of the medication and it took forever for the doctor to refill it so I’ve been back to having them nearly every night. Now that I’m back on the medication though I’m hoping to get it back under control

I hope things settle for you soon ❤️
