I’ve been suffering from on/off anxiety for 2 years now and finally got help from a doc. I ended up having a mental breakdown in the doctors office when explaining what I think causes my anxiety (childhood trauma/ abuse). They were comforting and supportive of me. They did what they could to help me and I genuinely feel cared for. But my family doesn’t seem to care. My own mother suffers from BPD and depression herself and doesn’t seem the least bit concerned about me. My anxiety has gotten to the point where I don’t leave my house cause I always have a panic attack if I do. So, my doc gave me some meds. One of the prescriptions is for me to take when I am in a panic attack. I felt one coming on today so I took one of the pills (as told by my doc) and I immediately felt awful. I got very hot, I started trembling, my heart began racing, and I got dizzy. I laid down for a bit and slowly calmed down and drifted into what felt like a high/ drunken state. I told my mother about it because I was worried about myself and possible drug interaction or upset. She immediately berated me for taking it in the first place and accused me of abusing the meds. I am not a drug user, or drinker, and I don’t smoke. I am not someone who would turn to abusing medication. So this upset me. I have never felt that sensation before and was SCARED. And all she had to say to me was accusations. My own fiancé doesn’t seem to take me seriously either. Everyone around me thinks I’m faking and I’m not. I can’t control what I’m going through. If I could, then I wouldn’t have sought medical help.
