I'm not a hugger, and I'm not really a drinker, but I had a bay day so I'm willing to share either, or both, with you if you had a bad day, too.  I've woken up every morning for the past five days with a panic attack and today's was REALLY bad. Like, just kinda barely made it through my day bad.  What's up with that? Hoping tomorrow will be a better day. |

Oh wow, Ashley, I hope tomorrow is better! Have you seen the doc this week about it?
I have had a bad day too. I used to have horrible periods when I was young - bad cramping, vomiting, etc. for the last 10 years I had an IUD which was great. That came out a year ago and my periods have been short, light and regular. Well not this month! Super heavy, bad cramps, intestinal "issues," vomiting, neck and back pain, headache all day. Ugh.

That's no good Ashley, I wonder what brought that on. Have you had panic attacks before or is this out of the blue?
I'm not a hugger or a drinker but if I were there we could do both together!
Hope your day / week gets better.

Is something going on in your life that is making you anxious? I know I've been having panic attacks lately because I just got a new boss and I don't know what she's going to be like. I am an odd person but my last boss understood me. I'm anxious because most people don't get me. I hope tomorrow will be better for you. I'd give you hugs but I'm not a hugger either. |

I'm sorry about your bad day/panic attacks. Can you talk to your doctor about those? I'm not a hugger either, but I am having a glass of wine. I didn't have a bad day, really, but it was a weird one. We were up at 5:00 to take our daughter to college for the first time. We are home now (not for long), and it was just the most emotional, exhausting day. I'm fine, and then I cry, and then I'm fine again, and then I cry some more. I am very excited for her and I know this is a great thing, but at the same time it is hitting me that this is a huge change (perhaps the biggest ever) for our family dynamic. Things will continue to be good and we will evolve, but in certain aspects they will never be the same. I go back to work next week, and although I'm not ready to do that, I know that in a way, it will be good for me. It just feels weird knowing that she's not home, that she has her own life now, and we don't know when we will see her next.  |

Yuck, Ashley. One day would be bad enough and you made it through five. I hope that tomorrow is a better day and if it isn't that you consider calling the doctor.
Panda, I hope tomorrow is a better day for you too. One of my friends had an IUD, had it removed and things were good for a while and now she's having migraines with vomiting. Because of her experience, her sister-in-law is afraid to have hers removed even though it's time.
I'm sending positive vibes to both of you.

I've had a couple of panic attacks before -- I have a lot of social anxiety so I freaked out a few times when I was working and was anticipating having a bad day. NO clue what's going on now, though! Maybe just a host of worries just building up. Is something going on in your life that is making you anxious?

I'm sorry to hear about your tough day too Ashley. I'm a hugger, not a drinker, so I'll share those with you! I had a bad day too. But it's also a vent. Our internet and TV went out yesterday (which is bad enough! Whatever does one DO without the internet?!) So Cable Guy comes in and I point out and tell him - twice- "the cable modem is to the right of the computer." It's easy to see. Cable guy (aka Jerkwad) proceeds to look directly at DH and ask, "where is your cable modem?" Really dude? Really? He then goes outside, comes back in and I'm standing right there and DH is on the phone. Jerkwad said he needs to speak with DH. I said he's on the phone, what do you need. He asks where the cable booster box is. I said in the garage, back wall in the middle. DH then hangs up and the Jerkwad ASKS HIM THE SAME QUESTION!! He gets the same answer. Unbelievable. Why do men DO that? I've run into jerks like him all my life. I am a strong independent and fairly smart lady and it pisses me off to be treated like an idiot. Internet is back up, but I am still pissy from it. I'll be better tomorrow I'm sure. |

Ashley, that certainly does suck. I'm not a hugger either and only a somewhat drinker  Are you getting enough sleep, maybe that's triggering these attacks when you wake up. I'm kind of in the same boat as Jilli. Our oldest son is going to college next week. I've had many sleepless nights trying to get everything planned for him. He has Asperger's, so I want his dorm room to be as comfortable as possible, so he has a place to decompress and have a little privacy. Still have tons of shopping to do. We'll see him every month or so, he has to come down for orthodontist appts, but there will be a ton of changes. I'm keeping busy by doing more for my middle son and the marching band, work, etc. I hope tomorrow morning brings a panic-free, anxiety-free day for you! |

I'm sorry Ashley. Panic attacks are terrible. I hope that they subside and that today is much better for you! I've had an emotional week - in 5 days had 3 of my kids head back to college 12 hours from where we live. Our family is very close and it's tough on dd [HASH]6 having all of her siblings gone. I'll have that drink with you |

I hope whatever's causing the panic attacks subsides soon. I've never had them but have watched a close friend struggle and they can be debilitating. You are such a creative, talented person. I hate the thought of you having a hard time with this. Here's to a better day today!

For me it was my son and it was not college but the Air Force, we went to see him when he graduated Basic Training and it was so hard to leave him. We are VA and that is Tx. So even though you are not a hugger I am sending you one anyway {{{{HUGS}}}} |

Ashley, panic attacks are not fun at all. I know you eat well, you have a good life, everything is normal for having 4 kids but do you have postpartum depression? I know it sounds crazy because you are so positive with everything but are your hormones out of whack right now? I would see your doctor to see what's causing these attacks. I used to get them after I had DS and they were horrible. I thought i was going to die. They did get better with counselling and medication.
Hugs to you!

Hoping tomorrow will be a better day. I have that problem too...it seems like that sets the course for the day and some days I can't shake it off. It pisses me off because I'm a logical person but I can't seem to recover from whatever caused the anxiety I woke up with.
Yesterday was awful and I had to have a vodka drink early on. Today I woke up fine and I've already accomplished what I need to do today so I'm having a good day, so completely different from yesterday!
Ugh. Just have hope. Tomorrow can be a better day!

My bad day is I hate my job. Just hate it. It's the project, the management, the lack of respect, the stress. I just can't walk away right now.

I'm a hugger and a drinker, so I'll here's some good cheer being sent your way... I hope today is better. Sometimes life is just overwhelming... one minute, one hour, one day at a time and you'll get through this.
I hate it when I'm feeling down, even though I can see all of life's blessings around me. Why can't I focus on that instead of my own funky mood?

Sorry to hear about the panic attacks- that must be an awful feeling. Several years ago, I was taking a medication that dropped my blood pressure too low and whenever I woke up I would feel like I was having a panic attack (heart racing, etc). It was the most uncomfortable feeling- thankfully it went away when I stopped the medication. Anyway, just thought I'd throw that out there- maybe it's blood pressure or heart rate related?
As for a drink, I'd take one but it's morning here now! DD woke up at 4am and had the hardest time getting back to sleep. We are doing some sleep training that she's been doing really well with, but this morning was tough on us all. Ugh.

I'm sorry, Ashley. Anxiety and panic are strange demons. They can strike at the oddest times, like when you're just falling asleep, or just waking. I feel for you and hope they get better.
I was supposed to fly out this morning for a surprise party my sisters and I are throwing for my dad tomorrow. I woke with the period from hell. It's quite late, as it has been the past several months, and insanely painful and heavy. I simply can't travel like this and canceled my trip. I'm very sad to miss all the festivities. He would have been shocked and so happy to see me.
So, when the clock strikes 5pm, I'm having a rum n coke tall boy and a big fat fucking steak.

What's up with that? 
Are you getting enough sleep, maybe that's triggering these attacks when you wake up.
