TPAPN and panic attacks

[MSRN2020, ADN, RN]

Feeling really, really low and honestly just need some support. I’m in TPAPN. That right there says a whole lot. Anyways, December will be two years for me if they’re counting my early start. My prescribed amount of time is 3 years, so hopefully next December. But I’m just so down lately. I have a job I had to take a leave of absence from due to severe panic attacks. I feel super alone in the panic attack department. They’re affecting my ability to even go test. I freaking lose my sh*t going anywhere, especially sitting in that waiting room. I just feel like since my panic attacks came back, I can’t work, and I just don’t know how I’ll get through this. I have a family to care for. I hate that this mental health bullsh*t I’ve been plagued with is ruining my life. This wasn’t me a month ago. Everything got so hard…

Hi,

I am a TPAPN survivor. While I was in the program and desperately trying to find a job, any job I started becoming more and more anxious during interviews because I had to explain my situation. My anxiety increased with every interview. Finally, I obtained an RX for propranolol which helped. Hang in there, and feel free to PM me as well.

I feel you. I was prescribed Zoloft and it’s helped alott! I’m in tpapn as well and it’s been okayed by my case manager and pcp for me to take this. You might wanna talk to your pcp and see if they can prescribe you something for your anxiety/panic attacks.

Oh believe me, I’m prescribed many things. That’s the problem. Nothing is helping :(
