sing like wildflowers

My full and kooky life as a homeschooling mommy to 2 great kids, raising a child with HLHS (Hypolastic Left Heart Syndrome), coping with depression, following Jesus, and being much too camera happy.

I have been having panic attacks since last night. It comes and goes. They are so wearisome to deal with. I just took my anti- anxiety medicine, and it should take effect in about 30 minutes.

      Thank you, Liz! I’m doing better now. One of those weeks with ellis having consecutive migraines and Chris on a business trip. My alertness goes high mode and the panic attacks set in. They’re miserable to have.
      Have a great weekend 😀

        You’re welcome, Esther. I’m glad you’re doing better now. You are so right about migraines. I suffered with them for years.

        They are awful to have! I’m glad that you put “suffered” in past tense. Hope they don’t plague you anymore.

      Thank you for the hugs! Appreciate them. I am doing better today. Had a few rough days with my daughter’s migraines and they affect me like that.

    So sorry, Esther 🙏🏼 I had these kinds of attacks with hormone change some years back. Not at all fun. I would recommend taking high quality supplements especially omega 3 as wellness support along with your usual healthy lifestyle – exercise, diet (especially great is finding a herbal tea with calming effects including cardamom) . If quality supplements is something of interest to you pls feel free to check out EstroPro from my Usana shop at: https://upstreamdream.usana.com/ux/cart/en-CA/product/129.020103. (Both US and Cdn shoppers are welcome. Always check with your medical doctor if you are taking medications before using supplements.)

      Thank u! It’s awful to have these attacks and your body goes into full freak out mode. Thank you for the recommendations!! Im sure hormonal change at my age is something to consider too.
      Have a great weekend 😀

    I hope you are doing better today Esther. I’ll keep you in my prayers.

      Thank you, Linda! I’m doing better. It was rough this week with ellis having migraines two days in a row with her rescue meds. That kind of vigilance on my part leads to panic attacks. Thank you for your prayers!
      I hope you have a great weekend and you stay safe with the fierce weather in Michigan.

        That’s good to hear Esther … you have a lot on you mind and on your plate – I don’t know how you do it to be honest. You and your family are always in my daily prayers as well as extra prayers when they are needed. Thank you – it is an anxious time with this brutally cold weather right now, but at least we are not expecting icy weather like many across the U.S.

        Thank you from the bottom of my heart! You always encourage and support me and I hope you know that I don’t take it for granted. For years, you’ve been my cheerleader!!

        Thank you for saying that Esther and no I will never think you take it for granted. I am happy to be your cheerleader … you deal with a lot of things and it can be very burdensome at times.

    My daughter suffers from these, they can be debilitating. Take care Esther.

    1. singlikewildflowers Avatar

      That is tough! Panic attacks are debilitating and they come on at random times. I hope your daughter doesn’t get them too often.
      Thank you…I am taking care. Have a great weekend 😀
