I don't know what is going on. I had been feeling so much better. I just finished my 3rd flow post, or second "real" one (I bled heavy after removal for about a week but was that just removal or an actual flow?) The worst symptoms for me were the anxiety and digestive issues; but I was managing and they were getting less intense. The last couple of days I felt a little more off, but just thought it was due to period funkiness. Then yesterday on my way to my acupuncture apt. I had a full blown panic attack while driving. It was terrifying. I made it to the apt. and had to literally force myself to lay there feeling miserable and terrified, counting the seconds until I could go home and wondering if I was even going to make it home. This treatment is supposed to help anxiety; who has an attack during treatment? I must be losing it. I was completely freaking out all the way home; almost pulled over and called my husband to come get me, had to take 1/4 of an Ativan and felt devastated that I was all of a sudden back at square one when I felt I had made so much progress lately. UGH...I am now desperately terrified to go anywhere, fearful of driving and immensely afraid that this will not go away, that I will not get better and that I will become an agoraphobic mess. I do not want to be this person. I am normally very independent, confident and happy. I am now seriously debating calling my doctor to ask for the Zoloft. I have been fighting taking meds because I wanted to conquer this all naturally and thought I would be better off if my body could just fix itself. But now I fear my body is not fixing itself and if I let this anxiety/panic continue then it will entrench deeper into my psyche and may never leave me. I feel desperate to try anything right now; anything that might make me not feel the way I did yesterday and still feel the sick after effects of today. I just want my life back. I have read on this site about a lot of women experiencing a 4th period crash; I am not at 4mos yet, but it this a crash? I am wracking my brain with questions of "Should I just wait it out and see if I start getting better on my own; or should I start the Zoloft?" "If it will take the Zoloft 4-6 weeks to start to be effective shouldn't I start as soon as possible?" Any advice would be greatly appreciated; I feel that I am nearing the end of my rope...
