I feel as though I am going to explode. There isn’t one particular thing that’s caused it, just low-level stress building up. This doesn’t usually end well. Usually when this happens it builds up over the course of several weeks and then ends in a big panic attack, and it’s difficult to predict exactly when it’s going to happen. The medication I have is only supposed to deal with attacks as they happen, so it’s fine for the ones that are caused by specific triggers (I can predict when they’ll happen and start taking the meds the previous day, thus softening/avoiding the actual panic attack) but not for these ones.
OK, having a panic attack is not the end of the world, but it’s not fun, and I always feel pathetic afterwards. It’s not as though anything bad is happening to me, you’d think I’d have learned to cope by now.
