I did it again!!

11 Replies

Happy Friday everyone. So I have another success story!

I was able to drive on a freeway that I haven't driven on in months. I seem to have MAJOR attacks when I drive on certain freeways. I had a job interview, so I was determined to get on this freeway and was not going to get off until I reached my destination. I did feel some anxiety....but I fought it and kept going. I didn't go as far on the freeway as I wanted, but I did go quite a ways!!

Please share your milestones from this week! No matter how big or small!

We're champions and we can beat these ugly things called Anxiety and Panic Attacks!!!

Thanks Danielleapet. You will feel better soon. Take it slow. May go outside for a few minutes then come back in. Or maybe drive down the street then come back.

My small accomplishment for today was not calling the paramedics for the 3rd time this week during my panic attack :)

That's awesome Hdelmari. I almost called them last night. Had some pains in my chest and arm. It took everything I had NOT to call. Lord forbid they ever transport you to the hospital. It's like a million bucks!!!

They did last week actually! I'm not looking forward to that bill, hopefully my insurance will cover it. I have the same symptoms every day. I'm going to the cardiologist on Monday.

Yes, hopefully insurance does cover it. When the paramedics checked your vitals, were they normal? I also went to the cardiologists. I've had about 3 EKG's and a a stress test. Everything came back normal.

Yes they did and my ekg wasn't normal so that's why they took me in. I have a right bundle branch block, which is very common everyone says. Nothing else was found, but I'm still going to the cardiologist for peace of mind. Once they clear me I can focus on this darn anxiety.

Well I'm glad you're getting everything checked out. Better safe than sorry. I hope everything turns out ok.
