Hello

[MsDanialle]

Hi everyone,

I am going to give this a try! I need to find a safe place to deal with all my varied emotions. I am in therapy but I always feel like my time is up once I am ready to dive in. Guess my timing is just off. Since my attack, which I am not ready to describe yet, I have isolated myself. I now work from home and can go days without ever leaving the house. I have also managed to gain 45 lbs in the process. No one, who remains in my life, understands why I am overeating, moody and afraid to go out. For a long time, I thought they were right, I needed to stop dwelling on it - move on!!! Well it has been 3 years now and that isn't working. I am not sure if I will want to talk or lurk, I guess I will just take it as it comes.

Hi there and welcome to AS! I joined a few months ago and I find myself here everyday. I haven't left my house in a month because of severe panic attacks. I am on medication and it is making me feel a bit better while I'm at home which wasn't the case for awhile but I am still isolating myself from everyone. This place has brought me so much comfort and I hope it will for you too even if you have to lurk and aren't ready to talk. We will be here for you whenever you are ready!

Take Care,

Grace

Hi MsD

Welcome to After Silence. Just take your time and post when you feel ready.

Its also been three years since I was attacked and like you I recently had someone tell me to stop dwelling on it, I understand how hurtful stupid comments like that are.
