panic attacks at work

[Venora Moonwind]

I made it through the day with some understanding friends and an aces supervisor. I am doing assembly on jet engine parts instead of dissassmbly and I have stressed myself into panic attacks.

I made an appointment with my head doc for Wednesday to discuss what is going on with me. I am never sure if I am having bi polar or hyperthyroid . They both feel one in the same. I am still trying to get an appointment with my regular MD so I can have blood labs drawn to check my thyroid levels.( I am not sure that is right lol since I have no thyroid.

The last year has been very stressful at work between lot of immature men I work, all the overtime and my fluctuating levels TSH (thryoid suppressing hormone) Loose weight, change prescription, Gain weight, change prescription

On Top of bi polar I am really tired of this yo yo .For some reason it has been worse than ever this year. Iwas only having  mini manics and I know what to do when that happens.

I have been on celexa and zyprexa for some time now and I wonder if they are b egging to loose their effectiveness.
OH well I shall be talking to my  head doc and I am pretty sure I can make it till then.

I have tons of energy right now.

So back to the drawing board to see how to control this. At least my IBS isnt raging yet. I learned along time ago
" Immodium, Dont leave home without it! "
It has been along time since I have major panic attacsk not since my episode 1 when I was DX bi polar.
I really hate them.

Thats all. Thanks for listening

Love Venora

I remember the first time I went hyper at work...I had been trying to clamp it down all morning...My job is to walk around the plant and keep track of ingredients for candy making...suddenly...I was just almost running through, talking really fast...telling people just in a hurry here.  Then I went and shut myself into my office and hid....Later when I admitted to my supervisor and the other ladies that I worked with what was going on...did I get it...not in trouble work wise, but for trying to deal with it on my own.  

I did not want people to see me like that.  I hadn't worked there a year yet and I so want to keep this job.  It didn't take long for the girls to figure it out as I would start to speak faster, move faster....they'd haul me into the office until it passed.  Good friends.

Oh V - I am sorry you're going through this again.

I hope you sort it out pretty soon as panic attacks are the pits...I suffered with them for 26 years and then learned how to control them (like you).
Not easy controlling them though when your levels are out of whack.
This I found out.
I hope you start to feel better soon but dont be surprised if your levels are out of whack as when my TSH went to 6.0 from stress at work and the flu, I was bad with panic attacks.
Let us know how you go :)
