OMG, I woke up this morning feeling rather well, walked 7 miles, told my daughter I would take her to the library. I'm driving to the library, and, bam! One of the worst panic attacks I'd ever had hit. We're talking hyperventilation, heart palpitations, dizziness, tingling & numbness, depersonalization. Worse, it lasted about 3 HOURS. I didn't even know panic attacks could last that long, but I looked it up online and it appears they can. On top of that, I'm hypomanic, so I'm forgetting stuff I'm in the middle of doing. (Thank God I was able to drive home from the library OK, and thank goodness the library is close to my house.) Then, I'm trying to cook lunch and hold it together (thankfully everything was microwaveable), but with the hypomania being forgetful in the middle of everything. Ugh! I haven't done anything with my meds (forgotten a dose or double taken a dose); I took them just as prescribed. These are by far the worst panic attacks I've ever had. If I get another one, I'm going to see if they can't bump up my pdoc appt. a couple of weeks.

After lunch, I laid down and did some deep breathing, and finally, it went away, but I feel super exhausted now.
