 I have had them
when times are very stressful in my life is when I seemed to get them. When I went through my divorce I got them...that was the worst time in my life. I would definately try the counseling. I would not close my self off to medication.
My counselor said to me when I did not want to meds...that the meds are there to get me through the tough times. I don't have to take them forever...just until I did not need them. She was so right. The medications helped me get through the really really stressful times in my life. It helped me feel normal unitl I could work everything out.
Now I don't take any meds. I still feel panic when I get ready to fly on a plane. However I know what it is and I can talk myself into a calm place.
Counseling is not for everyone but I found that I'm the type of person to hold everything in. It helped me to talk to someone. Someone that I felt safe with. When I was holding everything inside emotionally it usually will come out physically.
Hope you start to feeling better soon. |
