I have greatly appreciated everyone who read and responded to my situation!! Since I have been to two shrinks within a couple of months who I felt did not help. I have found an Orthomolecular Psychiatrist I will see next week. She treats bipolar, anxiety, etc. on the cellular level. She studied at Johns Hopkins University so has good credentials and she has said has treated/helped many people. My doc suggested her. I am anxious to see her. I am glad to know panic attacks, if that is what I am experiencing, do last for more than minutes. These physical symptoms last hours then suddenly break. My doc says that's when my adrenals are replenished and kick in. It is so hard though to get my friends and family to understand this. I actually cannot plan anything because I don't know how I will feel in an hour never mind a week. And my main worry are my children who are 9 and 10. When I am down and debilitated I cannot give anything of myself and they must pick up the slack. They have learned to be very independant, plus they bring me tea or put a cool rag on my head. Whatever this is, it wrenches a person's dignity unmercifully. Anyway looking forward to seeing if the psych can tell if I have certain deficiencies in my cells that can be treated with a combination of natural and pharm methods. If it is something great I will share with the world.
Thanks again
