Panic attack,
I know exactly how you feel. My husband and mother are very supportive of my depression, but others just don't get it! Some think that you can just "snap out of it" and it really gets me angry at times. Do they think I want to feel this way? How stupid! The one thing I want in my life is to wake up and feel "normal" again. As far as doing it to get attention. I can think of a lot better ways to get attention than sitting around,feeling exhausted and depressed! People are just so strange sometimes. I always said the same thing, I wouldn't wish this on anybody. But I do wish they could feel what I go through everyday, for just one day. Maybe they would understand a little more. Oh well, just gotta keep going! I feel really bad for you. I have only experienced panic attaks a few times and they are truley horrifying. I hope you can find someone to help you. Sometimes the meds. do make it worse though. I only experienced panic attacks when I was on Paxil and when I was withdrawing from it. I really feel for you. Just wanted to let you know your not alone, that some of us are going through the same thing with people who just don't understand mental illness. You'll be in my prayers!
