Anxiety Attack Medication
So I finally went to see my doctor about my anxiety attacks that i had a few weeks ago. It was a civic holiday here in Canada and the doctor was there till noon. My appointment was at 9.30am – so I took a cab there instead of making Missy Moo and Mr Moo get up so early to bring me there. As soon as I got into the cab – i tried to get the windows open but it wouldn’t open. I felt like i was going to have another attack there and then. But managed to calm myself down.
After chatting with the doctor ( a new one – on training), my family doctor came to review my consultation with the new doctor. I am just as happy I’m able to identify that i need help – as my doctor said. So another medication on my list for try out for 2 weeks and I have to go for therapy too. I started my “depression” medication yesterday – I guess we’ll have to wait for a few days to see how it is working. The only reason why I figured i needed medication is because i don’t wanna traumatize Missy Moo should have i one of the attacks – i forgot to tell the doctor that the last time i had the attack bad – i had raised my voice at Missy Moo – because she asked for more noodles – and i so don’t like that. So there you have it – should i be ashamed of myself for needing medication? no of course not – a lot of ppl are shy to tell people that they are on medication – but I won’t – because would you be ashamed to tell people you have a cold or a flu? it’s the same thing yet not quite – but being upfront and taking control of one’s health is very important – because in the long run – it not only benefits me but my entire family.
