Anxiety was too overwhelming

I am totally exhausted from not sleeping much but thought I had a handle on not worrying about it.  Out of the blue a major panic attack hits me.  I tried to breathe through it but it was too much.  I went down and got 3- 5mg percs off my tenant.  I took one and waited but the anxiety didn't subside.  I took the other one and finally had some relief.  Now that the anxiety is gone, I am in shock that I did that.  I can't believe that after all I have been through and all the agony that I have blown it.  I didn't feel good from the percs.  I still felt sick and have a major headache but it did relieve the anxiety.  Now I just feel like crying.  I thought I had it under control and I just feel so weak and discouraged.  I don't even have a desire to take that 3rd pill.  Now what????

Pat honey, I just want to hug you. I understand about the anxiety all too well. It is brutal and awful and scary. To tell you the truth, if I hadn't been taking the Clorazepate during withdrawal I don't know if I would have made it. You are a strong person, and admitting you need some help is actually a sign of strength. Look at this as a a learning experience and dust yourself off and keep going. Just like the dieter who eats that huge piece of chocolate cake, realize what happened and continue the plan. Instead of eating the rest of the cake and anything else you can find, acknowledge and then move forward. You can do this, my friend.

I am thinking of you. Hugs, blessings, and prayers,

Minn
