How do you cope with anxiety/ panic attacks ?

Hello everyone, it's Sandy, and yes it's been a while. How is everyone doing tonight. So much has changed with Facebook that it's gotten hard to work my page, but I'm hoping I can figure it out now. I've been struggling the last few years since I lost my home to the flood. Things are finally settling down as far as my housing goes, my sister bought me one and I'm paying her back for it. It's took forever to feel like home though. And of course I have no motivation at all. So let me here from ya'll !

Sertraline/Venlafaxine/citalopram/mirtazapine/fluoxetine/escitalopram/amitriptyline the list goes on.

So if you're unlucky enough to know what these tablets are or know a loved one who takes them, then I don't have to describe to you what this post is regarding. But if you don't I will fill you in.

That medication allows people to deal with a normal day to day life. Although most days it leaves them tired, spaced out and emotionless. Crazy right? 🤷🏼‍♀️ Why would anyone want to feel like that. Well this is why.

You see some people suffer from depression, anxiety, ocd, ptsd and borderline personality disorder.

In their brain it doesn't sit right, something seems different. They notice little differences that 'normal' people wouldn't notice.

That comment you didn't tag them in, but you tagged other people? They see that, and say to themselves why didn't you tag me?

You read that message they sent and they see that you did, but you didn't reply.. why didn't you reply? And they feel like they have done something to upset you.

You didn't say I love you on the phone.. do you not love them anymore? Do you love someone else instead?

They say sorry all the time. They feel like they annoy everyone. Are you mad at me? Because they feel like you’re mad at them ALL.THE.TIME!

It's not only mental changes, but physical changes.

They don't eat a lot, mainly rubbish, because they need it now and need the energy from lack of sleep.
Insomnia, up all night answering questions to situations that don't even exist, or sleep too much and waste half their day still feeling tired.

But the tablets can help them. They know when they start to feel this way or think this way, they need help.

They know that when their behaviour starts to change, they need guidance. They don't need to be ashamed. They don't need to be understood. They just need to be accepted.

Living with this illness is hard, but trying to understand it, is even harder.

Don't suffer in silence.

THE 3 TYPES OF PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE:

1. The Leaf people
2. The Branch people
3. The Root people

LEAF PEOPLE:
These are people who come into your life just for a season. You can't depend on them because they are weak. They only come to take what they want, but if the wind comes they will leave.

You need to be careful of these people because they love you when things are okay, but when the wind comes they will leave you

BRANCH PEOPLE:
They are strong, but you need to be careful with them too. They break away when life becomes tough and they can't handle too much weight. They may stay with you in some seasons, but they will go when it becomes harder 😢

ROOT PEOPLE: These people are very important because they don't do things to be seen. They are supportive even if you go through a difficult time they will water you and they are not moved by your position they just love you like that ...
It's not all people you meet or are your friends, that will stay with you.

Only the root type of people will stay no matter the season.
