It's Not Over
My panic attacks
are real.Whenever someone suggests that I "just relax"
or talk myself out of it, I have to say "Well don't
you think that I would if I could? Do you think that
this is a hobby? I am suffering and if I had the
choice, believe me, it would not be to feel like
this".
I am so tired of people accepting illnesses that are
below forehead level but being hush hush about any
illness that occurs in the brain. The brain is part of
our bodies and when it does not function properly that
is a physical illness and no different from any other
body part that has illness.
If I had someone over for dinner who had diabetes, I
would not serve them a pie containing sugar and tell
them to just think positive and get through the sugar
rush. I would adjust the menu accordingly. For people
who have panic, a little consideration would be nice.
We are not asking for pity...just a little
consideration, panic attacks are not a joke. Help is
needed, we are human. I know Doctors, do not have all
the answers yet, but we can still have hope. We need
support from our families, which is difficult to get
at times. If you've never suffered panic, it is hard
to console even a spouse. Please think before you pass
judgement. It could be you.
