I have been off work for about 2 months now because of major panic attacks, and severe depression. I have had this for well over 6 years now, seems the meds I am on now are not helping, or even making it worse. I just spoke to someone on the phone from workermans compensation and he ask me why I would be off work just for a panic attack. The panic attack I had a work 2 months ago was I thought I smelled smoke, and I started to feel hot and the panic set in full force. I a lot of people think this is a poor excuse for a sickness. I am so tired of the stigma surrounding us here. It's making me feel worse, and i cant even look at people anymore. It's almost as if they think I am not telling the truth about this. I would much rather me working than staying at home crying all day long.
sorry for babbling
