The panic attacks started about Wednesday. They were mild at first, happening only every once and again. But they began to come more often and be more intense.
By Saturday, I had two while at school, one after I got home, then two or so more while at work. I could hardly function because my chest felt as if it were about to come out of my chest. The internal stress was getting to the point that I was about to break.
Sunday... Sunday was fun. I spent the day with my family out at my sister's farm. I got to ride their new horse, Stella. She's a beautiful, kind hearted animal who I just adore. On Sunday, I only had a mild attack that I was able to deal with...
But Monday was a different story. I woke up and felt dead. I was as sicker than I had been for a long time. I couldn't breathe and I couldn't stop coughing. My head felt as if it were trying to split open. I couldn't walk. The stress had finally taken its toll on me. But the nice thing about getting sick was, I wouldn't have another attack.
The day passed quickly, as I was unconscious for most of it. I got a doctors appointment for Tuesday, which I went to and got some cough-suppressants, some anti-biotics...
And something else.. Sometimes, you just have to admit when you need extra help... And I know when I do.
I'm still sick and my writing here is suffering because of it. It's pissing me off, but I'll get over it.
There's so much more I want to write, but I don't know if I can right now.
Things are getting better, they're just taking a little longer to come about than I would like.
I'll write more this weekend, when my head is back on square. <3
where r u ? I miss reading your journey
