Another panic attack last night

So Joel had a panic attack last night, it was after the kids went to bed and something must of just hit him. He seems to have them after a stressful day and Sunday was a lot of fun but big events like that and hard on us both. Especially him because I know he feels not only does he have to keep an eye on the kids but he has to keep an eye on me as well. And I don't like that.

Thankfully this one didn't last as long as the last one and I was able to help him though it much easier.

He has an appointment to talk to his doctor about anxiety and the results of his blood sugar tracking this week so hopefully they will give him something to help. But until then I gave him one of my anxiety pills and it really helped calm him down..

Poor Joel. He is coping with a LOT of stuff, and I guess sometimes he just collapses under the weight of it.

I WOULD like to caution you about handing out your pills, (and nose spray), so freely. YOU are going to run out. I know it seems like the thing you have to do at the time...but handing out your meds to other people could potentially be dangerous to them and/or to you. Doctors frown on that, for the reason I mentioned.

Naturally, it would be best if Joel talks to his doctor about his anxiety, as you mentioned that he WILL, and gets his OWN anti-anxiety meds. That way, YOU are not going to run out.

@4meAndyou he is our rock! He does so much for us all the time. Running out of anxiety pills is not a worry. I have plenty of them. Except for my high dose one and I don't give that to anyone but myself. But you are right I'm out of my spray for headaches and I can't get more until the end of the month.

Like I said he's going to talk to his doctor about anxiety this week along with his blood sugar.

@Cigarguy Run over that nose spray container with your car and take it into the pharmacy and say, "Ooops!!!" 🤣🤣🤣

@4meAndyou I'm hoping the med change will stop his headache and can use his if he doesn't need it anymore.

4meAndyou · F

@Cigarguy It will be a while before any med change kicks in. I vote for either running over the nose spray container with your car to crush it...OR tell the pharmacist you can't find it after going to the football game!

@4meAndyou hey I didn't think of talking to the pharmacy. I might do that

4meAndyou · F

@Cigarguy Yup. People LOSE those sprays ALL the time!!!

4meAndyou · F

@4meAndyou AND the pharmacy can put in an over-ride request so that it can be filled twice during the same prescription period.

Cigarguy · M

@4meAndyou I'm going to call them right now

4meAndyou · F

@Cigarguy You ROCK! Awesome!

Cigarguy · M

@4meAndyou they refilled it for me

Poppies · 61-69, F

@Cigarguy Hurray for the refill!

Cigarguy · M

@Poppies yep I took a quick break and went and picked it up. My headache is finally gone

4meAndyou · F
