I've been off my meds since the end of October. I'm back on most of them now, or reasonable facsimiles thereof, thanks to a very sympathetic doctor and Walmart's $4 scrip plan. One of them was still $40, but I had to have it, it's my most helpful one. But I'm still not right in the head. This sucks.

I'm working like 15 hours a week at a local pizza place, and I've already called in a few times in the two months I've been working there. I had a full-on, hyperventilating, sobbing panic freakout at work the other day, and I had to explain to my boss what my deal was. She was also sympathetic, but it was so shaming and embarrassing.

She actually wanted to promote me before this happened. I don't know where that stands now.

So yeah, I'm just freaking out now. I have a few days off to get used to the new truncated meds (they couldn't get me back on two of them because the price was prohibitive, like $900 each or something -__-) but hopefully I'll be better when I go back to work on Tuesday.

I wish I had a more positive post, hopefully I will soon.

I'm so sorry I wasn't about earlier bb, it was ass'o'clock here. *hugs*
These things happen with work hun and I know how embarrassed you must feel but at least she was sympathetic and not a cow, which so many people can be in that situation ♥ I'm wishing you good health hun, always xx

Try not to freak out too much, though I know just saying that isn't much help. But please don't be embarrassed about having a panic attack - would you be embarrassed or ashamed if you'd had a heart attack, or one of your lungs had collapsed or something like that? No, of course you wouldn't - because they would have just hit you out of the blue, with nothing you could have done to stop them. The panic is the same thing.

I hope the meds work for you and things do start turning around soon. You deserve a bit of luck!

I am very glad to here you're finding the right cocktail. Being without meds is bad...very bad. I know from personal experience.

You know how to reach me if you need to. I don't know exactly what you're going through, but if anyone understands, I do.

Pajama party in the blanket fort!

Sending you all the hugs and hopes that things improve now with the meds and an understanding boss *HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSS*

I'm glad to hear your boss was sympathetic to you, but you have no need to feel embarrassed or ashamed about this episode. Health issues of various sorts happen all the time.

I hope your new meds help - sending positive thoughts your way x

*hugs*

You are being so brave and strong. Keep fighting. I hope it will get easier and easier in the future.
