Panic Attacks along with other things going on…..HELP
Question:
<snip You have to get to the point where you don’t give a damn what people "think" about you. All you have to do is be a good person, love your kids, take care of them and yourself and you’ll be fine. Those are the priorities. Other people can walk backwards up their assholes until they disappear, IMO. (Sorry, but it seemed appropriate here. 
)
<snip Oh Jen, I knew there was a reason that I like you so much. That was VERY well said!! My philosophy exactly.

Thank you very much for your input, I appreciate it… The doc changed my meds to 100 mgs of Seroquil, upped my Klonopin to taking twice a day, and now Im starting Prozac 10 mgs. I hope this combination of wonder drugs helps me in one way or the other.. And I hope there is no side affects with the Prozac!!!! I wish there was a way to relieve some pain with my ex-husband, I really blame the new wife he has for all of these problems we are experiencing…Didn’t have them before he married her…She’s always the one that is calling me names like (Psycho) in front of my own children… I hope that the children see thru her and know that she is only trying to her me… Ann

I have had Panic Attack Disorder along with OCD, & agorphobia for over 4 years now…I have pretty much come to terms with it…How to handle it and all.. But now I am experience so new problems new to me…I cant remember where Im going, forget names, phone numbers, cant deal with others. Cant handle stressful situations at all…Cant clean my house, cook, or go anywhere alone… This is all new to me, dont know what to do…Feel inadquate in front of others, I feel like a FREAK. People put me down all the time, I have no self esteem..This is affecting my children due to my ex-husband putting me down in front of them.. I feel helpless and dont know what to do? I have contacted my doctor and he is changing my meds, any other suggestions…. I feel as though people treat me differently because I have this disorder, like they tip-toe around me…I HATE THAT!!! Need suggestions, PLEASE

Sorry to point this out, but…. from the last few lines of your post, it does not look like you have "pretty much come to terms with it". But now I am experience so new problems new to me…I cant remember where Im going, forget names, phone numbers, cant deal with others. Cant handle stressful situations at all…Cant clean my house, cook, or go anywhere alone…
It sounds to me that your problems are more far reaching than just anxiety. Have you told your doctor of all of these symptoms? If so, and he/she is not doing anything, then it is time to find a new doctor. This is all new to me, dont know what to do…Feel inadquate in front of others, I feel like a FREAK. People put me down all the time, I have no self esteem..This is affecting my children due to my ex-husband putting me down in front of them..
You are not a "freak", anymore than any of the rest of us are. If you have to, get a restraining order against your ex-husband to stop this behavior. It is wrong. And, you are not the one who is wrong, he is. I feel helpless and dont know what to do? I have contacted my doctor and he is changing my meds, any other suggestions….
Well, talk to your doctor and make sure he knows EVERYTHING that is going on with you. What is he changing your meds from, to? It’s hard to suggest anything (except NOT buying meds from overseas!) when you give no information as to what you are taking now; or going to be taking soon. I feel as though people treat me differently because I have this disorder, like they tip-toe around me…I HATE THAT!!!
Are you sure this is just not your "perception" of how people are acting around you? Sometimes, it’s hard when you are in the midst of a crisis like this to see the forest for the trees, as it were. And, even if they ARE acting this way, it’s their problem, not yours. Unless you make it your problem. You have to get to the point where you don’t give a damn what people "think" about you. All you have to do is be a good person, love your kids, take care of them and yourself and you’ll be fine. Those are the priorities. Other people can walk backwards up their assholes until they disappear, IMO. (Sorry, but it seemed appropriate here. ) Panic attacks, when they are in a full blown stage are really hard to cope with. Add to the mix an abusive ex and kids and you must be having a hell of a time! Try to give yourself a break once in awhile. Get someone to watch the kids and just take a nice long bath or a walk outside. You really need to get a handle on this, for your sake, and your kid’s sake. Get the meds you need from your doctor. Or, if he won’t work with you, change doctors and find someone who will. I am sorry this is all so rough for you right now. It DOES get better. Try to remember that every day. This cannot go on forever!!! If you do that, you’ll make it through this rough time. Always hope! Jen
