| So this is me...
I'm 31 years old. I teach elementary school. i have a great husband, amazing family. Perfect recipe for anxiety, right? i've also had panic attacks since I was 19 years old. I have been on and off meds for anxiety ever since then. I am super bad to self medicate. In the past month the panic attacks have come raging back. they are the worst I have ever had. I used to only have attacks in them in the morning when I would wake up, but now they happen at any time. They wake me up in the night and leave me screaming in a pillow and my husband trying to comfort me, but totally unable to. It has led me to have suicidal thoughts, and take time away from my classroom. I am back on Lexapro and I want more than anything to find support here and start rebuilding my strength and confidence that got lost somewhere. I'm here looking for support links that understand how I feel. While my family tries, they don't know what it's llike in my head and I know they have to get tired of my drama.
