PANIC!

-
I felt like screaming at the time, but i'm better now. This just goes to show how i am still very unwell with my agoraphobia.

This is exactly how it went...

I was in Sainburys, mum was talking to someone, so i said i'd run round and get the few bits that i needed. When i'd finished, she was still talking, i could see her when i turned round. At that point i was thinking that i felt like a 'normal' person, just shopping.... My boy came over and chatted to me for a second then wondered off again. The customer who was being served was taking forever to pack his bags, and there was still one more person before me. Anyway... i turn around again to 'check' to see if my mum was still there, and she'd gone. No son, no mum. I was scouring what little bit of Sainsburys i could see, and nothing. At THIS point the panic rose. I could feel my stomach churning... I continued to look round for them, the people in the queue must have thought i was mad!!!. Well, i am. I started to distract myself by counting how much i thought my shopping would come to, but still i felt shitty. FINALLY i paid for my stuff, but with 4 (heavy) shopping bags i charged round the shop looking for them both. Couldn't find them.... so i looked again.... nothing. By now i was practically having a break down. I tried to call her mobile, it was off. I made my way to the entrance, and there she stood, talking, to someone else.

I JUST WISH, EITHER MUM OR THE BOY HAD TOLD ME WHERE THEY WERE GOING!!!!!!!!!! I was so angry at her for just walking out and not telling me.... :(

Panic sucks!

Hey Sarah,

Don't you just love that? My husband and kids routinely leave me standing in stores and it drives me freaking crazy.

I don't get it. She knows what happens when she disappears.... Didn't need that today :(

oh god i know that feeling well. I'm fine wandering away from Matt on my own like you but I need to know exactly where he is, sometimes I go back to where I left him and he's gone and I panic! :( xx

Yeah, i am the same. If i know where mum is, even to the point of her being in one shop and i am in the next shop i am fine. But if she wanders off, which she does frequently, that's when the panic comes.

From the mouth of an EX agoraphobic

-
A friend of mine yesterday pointed out what a person had written on their blog about being agoraphobic. Said person is an EX agoraphobic...this is what was said. "Agoraphobia is a selfish state of mind. Its completely "curable", and yet some people just wallow in their own self-pity and will never ever get over themselves and recover. When you are so worried about yourself all the time, how can you possibly be a good mother to someone else? Or a good wife/girlfriend/friend? I've unfortunately been the agoraphobic, and I've been the agoraphobics friend. As the friend, it was miserable. Nothing was ever about anything else but them. It was annoying and frustrating. And completely in their hands to change it, but they wouldn't. Because they're too selfish and self centered. Those aren't qualities people like in a person." Opinions please?

It DID get worse..

...now there's a shocker! I have spent the entire evening in hospital. We had to call an ambulance, these feelings in my heart were insane. I was sat in the back on the ambulance and they did all my obs. I was tachycardic, my BP was really high (usually its stupid low) and my ECG was showing Atrial fibrillation, meaning the top two chambers of my heart are beating faster than the bottom two. I was put on oxygen as well because my breathing was a little bit crappy. The medic man stuck a candular in my hand and hit a valve apparently, my hand swelled up in seconds, it was so painful. Got to the hospital and did all the necessary things and then we had to wait...and wait...and wait. Where they'd stuck that needle in the back of my hand and hit the valve, it started going dead. I couldn't feel 4 of my fingers! I called to get someone to take the bugger out. I'm left with a lovely bit blue bruise this morning. My step-father was called to pick us up because we thoug...
