I could feel my anxiety building up and I really wasn't enjoying myself while I was shopping. Suddenly, I got hit with a really quick, but intense episode of dizziness, which almost knocked me off my feet. I took a couple of steps and almost fell over into a %#@&#! shoe display. Then the feelings of unreality hit and I started sweating profusely. Then my stomach got riled up for the third time in 2 and a half hours and I had to leave the store and drive home to use the bathroom. Now I have to leave for therapy. Ugh, I don't feel good today. I have my graduate reception dinner tonight. There is no way I'm eating a damn thing. After four years of combating panic attacks that ruined my life, and having years where I was panic attack free-- they have been popping up lately. I am determined NOT to let them do what they did to me years ago. BLAH.
