I Have Panic Attacks
I hate panic attacks, and they have gotten much worse since I've gotten older. I have been officially diagnosed with both anxiety disorder and depression. The panic attacks started a couple of years ago. The worst thing anyone can do is sneak up behind me when I'm completely involved in something, or make really high pitched noises.
As you can imagine, this makes me come off as a bit of a stick in the mud, but the truth is, this is how it is for me. What I hate most is when my brother deliberately sets me off. He KNOW what sets me off, and he does it anyway. Of course, Daniel is a "special" case himself. He's turned in an egotistical S.O.B. (Sorry Mom and Aunt Kathy!)
Cars pulling up really close to my side of the car I'm riding in, and large trucks makes me freak out, as does the idea of crossing the street without my assisted device (aka my walker). Escalators, if I'm not with someone, or with my walker, scare the you know what out of me. Panic attacks seem to pop up at random, too, though. without a trigger, and there's not a lot I know how to deal with it.
I'm hoping that seeing this Psychiatrist will help me. My cat is the only therapy so far, and he's probably getting tired of me. (Not that I like that idea, either!)
