There was a point a few years ago, when I seriously considered taking them, as the attacks were becoming very frequent & almost consuming my life. I was afraid to do just about anything. Then suddenly, they faded away.
I have no problem with having to take medication. I just hate to be dependent on something. And I'm usually pretty good at talking myself out of them. Plus, I really don't get them as often as I used to.
They come in waves. I used to get them frequently, then they subsided for a long time. Now I've recently started getting them again. I understand people get them more when they're under more stress than usual.
I got diagnosed with PTSD after I was robbed at gunpoint. I remember being in a drive thru once & the guy behind me got out of his car & went to his trunk. I freaked out & wanted to pull away but was trapped. Not pleasant.
Gosh, you all have the same things I do! For years, I thought I was the only one who got them! I'd lay in bed at night with my heart racing, fearing that if I fell asleep I may die!
