Have you been? I was kind of curious if the good was better elsewhere. They seem to have difficulty with variety. What I’ve been told is Cuban food in America is better than Cuban food in Cuba.

Oh, the food at Cuban resorts is terrible. Freaking terrible. Lol.

I have a lot of duties. SAHM, homeschool, two small kids, husband out of town. I don’t really get breaks. :/ Next week I have doctors appointments, dance rehearsals include dress rehearsals for my kids and myself, preschool grad and then four dance recital performances. All by myself. I’m scared to make myself panic…

This is funny because I have been playing a TON of candy crush.

Yeah, I had lorazepam the last time I dealt with panic (much briefer a few years ago), and it worked well. This is whack though. I took my last clonazepam less than four hours ago and I'm shaking and my heart is racing. :/

I am 34. My mum is hyperthyroid so I have mine checked periodically. Was normal about six weeks ago. Kind of wish it was that.

Yes, I started Lexapro on Monday. I wanted Lorazepam, but nobody would give it to me. So I'm stuck with clonazepam and I don't like it. I was out of town when all this went down. Hopefully my regular doc will go for the lorazepam.

Oh, I though of a mom brag! My daughter surprised me with a “novel” she’s been working on. She turned 7 on Sunday. I was impressed. Unfortunately she kind of ripped off all the characters and setting from JK Rowling so we can’t publish.

Yes, I think the diaphragm thing is key. I’m not using it when I panic. I’m a singer so when I sing I find it forces it and helps. Thank you for the resource.

I started an SSRI on Monday. :) I don’t think I have a bad relationship, but I am dealing with a husband who also has a mental disorder. I think we both need to get better for me to get better. Depressed people don't handle anxious people well. :P

Thank you so much. I’ll find out on Monday how long I have to wait for therapy. In the meantime, I’m youtubing CBT techniques.

My husband is depressed and somewhat useless for support. I think if he got some treatment, I’d improve also. My friends have been great.

How long did it take to calm down? What happened was I basically panicked all day Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Not this week. Last week. I had to endure a gruelling travel day back to Canada in that condition with no meds, all paranoid that they’d notice and emergency land the plane.

I’m sorry. :( I’m sorry she and you had to endure so much of that up and down. I’m sorry for your loss. *hugs*

This week has been utter shit. :(

I'm confused as to why you think this couldn't happen.

Doing things wrong does not undo her badassery.

So I think I have panic disorder. Developed in Cuba. I’m on clonazepam, but I can’t de-panic between attacks. This is horribly bad timing with dance recitals coming up and my husband leaving town. Can’t drive on my drugs. Seeing my doc on Monday for a referral for cognitive behavioural therapy. I think I also need an…

This woman is so badass.

They hand out water here. And candy. And there’s a guy in a banana costume handing out bananas which I think is supposed to be some sort of innuendo, but I’m always happy for the healthy snack.
