Panic Attacks and Anxiety: Ataques de Pánico y ansiedad

I was diagnosed with social phobia, depression and severe panic attacks by a psychiatrist. I know how hard is to explain your situation to others and been understood. I spent two months laid in bed without being able just to stand up, walk by myself or even taking a shower because I saw or felt everything was moving around me. I spent a lot of days and nights without resting because I woke up in the middle of the night totally affraid. I ended up in the emergency room twice because I thought I was having a heart attack; but the tests always came back clear. More than once I almost lose the control while I was driving my car because I felt I was falling through a hole. I also experimented uncontrollable tremblings of my inner muscles and I thought I was crazy. Those were a few of the symptoms I lived.And that is when I started to look for more options besides the medication.It is beautiful to know that there is a lot of people confronting the same condition just because that means we are not alone. That is why I wanted to write this journal, so you don't have to look everywhere to find answers; because I've suffered that too and I am still working with myself. Sufro de ataques de p nico severos con fobia social y depresi n.Ca tan profundamente que pens que no tendr a salida. S lo dif cil que es explicarlo y que los dem s te entiendan. Estuve cerca de dos meses postrada en una cama porque los medicamentos iniciales no hicieron efecto. No pod a salir de la casa porque se me viraba el mundo y todo se mov a... no pod a ni ba arme por m misma. Durmiendo generalmente sent a que me estaba cayendo de la cama. Pas muchos d as y noches sin descanso, despert ndome en medio de la noche, porque me levantaba de golpe, como si pasara por un susto extremo. Termin dos veces en el hospital porque cre a que me estaba dando un ataque al coraz n, pero los ex menes no demostraban nada. Varias veces guiando, casi pierdo el control porque sent que me ca a por un precipicio. Adem s sufr de temblores musculares involuntarios; pens que morir a o que me estaba volviendo loca. sos son solo algunos de los s ntomas que experiment por casi un a o entero porque mi cuerpo literalmente se descontrol en todos los sentidos. Es ah cuando comienzo a buscar otras alternativas adem s de la medicaci n.Es hermoso es descubrir que no estamos solos. Cada vez hay m s personas con esta terrible condici n, muchas veces mal diagnosticada. Es por eso que escrib este diario, para que no tengas que buscar por todos lados c mo lidiar con los episodios de parte de alguien que los sufri terriblemente y sigue batallando.
