Hello
I'm having panic attacks which began when I passed out in a clothing store from being ill. I have also emigrated to another country (USA) and had some financial worries last year that I know may be the reason for these attacks as well as the passing out incident.
I have a constant feeling of anxiety, like butterflies in the stomach and I always feel detached and almost dreamlike when I leave the house. I do feel nervous about going out but I will not let it stop me from going where i want to go. On two occasions now I have had panic attacks where I feel sick, dizzy, and ready to flee, one being at a theme park. I stayed at the theme park (my husband was really supportive) and I managed to get over it and enjoy the day. I felt nervous all day but it was manageable.
I am also starting college soon and I do not want these feelings getting in the way of my education and building a career for myself.
I am now planning on visiting a psychologist as I want to try everything possible to eradicate these feelings without medication.
I would really appreciate any advice to help me along the road to recovery and I hope my story will help and inspire those who sometimes feel to weak to fight this.
Thank you.
