Hi Snapper,
I've sat here reading and rereading your post. I feel your every pain and every word you typed triggered something in me that made me have to respond to you. I have never shared this story about myself with anyone outside my family circle before, but I thought maybe I'd share it with you and maybe it might help who knows. Back many years ago I felt exactley the way you do I couldn't move I couldn't breath my life in my eyes was over. It took me 3 months of hiding under the covers scared and crying to get to the doctors. I went and explained what I was feeling and of course I was prescribed meds. The anxiety didn't go away with the meds seemed to make things worse. I felt at the time like I was dying a slow and mentally painful death so I decided I didn't want to be crippled anymore with anxiety I took the whole bottle of pills. I obviously didn't do the job or I wouldn't be here typing to you now. When I started my after care program when I came out of the psychiatric hospital I decided along with my doctor that treated me in hospital to have ect actually I had no choice because I wasn't going to get anymore meds. I did 3 treatments like you've already hit then I stopped. There isn't a second of the day that I don't wonder where'd I'd be at now if I had continued the ect. That's all water under the bridge I suppose. Now I live my life full of meds that I get prescribed to me once a month because I can't be trusted with anymore. I hope all goes well for you I really do, I don't even know why I just shared that story with you, but something drew me to your post and the way you described your anxiety I felt an intsant connection to you. I'm so glad you have a support system and I will pray that everything works out for you, if I could reach out my arms and embrace you I would.......
Thinking and praying for you.
Shannon
