Question:
…..I guess I can let you know a little more in to detail how I have been. Remember how I was always afraid to let my husband go to work.. well I worked on it morning by morning and believe it or not he leaves every morning now and sometimes I don’t even wake up when he leaves. I don’t even call him at work, maybe once at the most unless it is for something really important household wise. I am not really sure how it worked because I don’t even take Paxil or any kind of medicine anymore. I don’t have panic attacks at all any more. The only thing I have is a little nervousness now and then. Oh and what is weird is what has replaced the Panic. It is a terrible anger!! I get mad or angry and grouchy at anything and everything. I mean if a fly lands where I don’t want it to I am soo grouchy and pissed. Does anyone know why this could be? As for being able to drive places I do it occasionally to the store, to the pool, (yeah I am taking my daycare kids to the pool at least 4 times a week. Today is rainy though so I am trapped inside.) Now I do occasionally have scary feelings or thoughts but I try to ignore them. I do still fear death but I try to ignore that too. I also still feel I have a brain tumor but it is a more distant thought in my mind than an upfront thought. The only time I get partially panicky or nervous belly is at night or if I have to drive at night. As for my hub well on to something else. I think I do have a lot of depression still, but I can cope with depression over panic anyday. Mainly I am really lonely because all I have to talk to is my daycare kids, myself and well you guys. Well I will let your ear rest, and I will type more soon.! XXXAnavetteOOO — Be kind to everyone you meet, they could be an angel!

Hi Anavette! Wow! I am so surprised. What a turn around and I think that’s fantastic. You must be changing your thinking to be able to accomplish what you have. Please talk to us anytime and vent if you need to. Maybe that will get some of the anger out in a positive way. Whatever you’re doing, please keep it up! No meds either. Wow! Talk soon. Hugs, Di

Hi Anavette. …Think Jackie could be right about the depression bit. Probably we forget about that a bit because panic and anxiety is so demanding of our time and attention that depression sinks to the background. I am curious about your mention of fear of death. I have lived with that for most of my life..but it is not actually fear of my own death..but something horrible happening to those I care about. CBT assists greatly, but eternal vigilance required! It may be selfish, ie I fear how I will cope in such a dreadful position. As I have been diagnosed with PTSD that makes sense but wondered if you, and maybe others had any thoughts on the Death Thing? eck

This is very good news that your husband can go to work and you are able to deal with it very well now. I am sure this has decreased alot of tension between the two of you. I hope he has been good to you, if you know what I mean. Your irritability and anger *could* be symptoms of depression. You don`t have to be crying and feeling down all the time to be suffering from depression. Depression can manifest itself with many other symptoms. You should talk to your doctor about this, you need to be diagnosed and treated. I am glad to hear from you again, it sounds like you are doing so much better!! {{{{{Anavette}}}}} Jackie Got questions? Get answers over the phone at Keen.com.
