Happy New Year

Happy New Years Eve Everyone,

I have been doing well the last two days. No major attacks trying to breathe deeply and stay calm. I did go see a therapist on Wednesday because a couple of doctors said it could be helpful. He was a really nice man but wants to put me on prozac. It seems a bit drastic to me after only having the attacks for 3 weeks. Yes I want them to end but Im not sure about this as he said you pretty muchh have to stay on it for 9 months. Im thinking that since the BIG move is over now.. YEA! and the doggie got year last night maybe my stress level will naturally calm down. I have spent the entire day with Dukie today she is very sweet and listens extremely well. No big plans tonight the boyfriend jeff is still at work as of right now. and he also has to work early tomorrow morning. Think it will be a quiet night with just the 3 of us. New Years Resolution for me to get fully healthy. im going back to Weight Watchers next week and am finally going to get it done. I have some wonderful support in that community all my Maggies out there know who you are. Wishing everyone a safe and happy a New Year!

Welcome

I'm creating this blog as a little stress relief and diary for myself. My name is Melissa and Im 33 years old. A couple of weeks ago I had a scary experiene I had to be rushed to the hospital and discovered that my heart skips 2 beats-not a very big deal they dont even treat it. But they wanted to look deeper at my heart.. This scared me as Im overweight and havent always eaten the best. However Im so lucky all turned out to be fine. Im very blessed. And now I want to make a good healthy lifestyle for myself. But for some reason I have started having panic attacks. This is really scary. I don't know what is causing them. My life is really going in a lot of good directions. I'm moving in with my boyfriend of a year- who is an all around good decent guy-Ive waited a long time to find. He is so wonderful and often spoils me. We are also getting a puppy tomorrow night Dukie a yellow female lab...Life is pretty good. I also have an incredible immediate family Mom, Daddy, Al, and my absolutely irrisitable niece and nephew. So why are these attacks taking over my normal happy life?? Im going to keep an accurate account of daily life on here which will include the goals for that healthier lifestyle and kicking panic attacks out of my happy life.
