Quote from dreemedayze :
Also, it has been suggested a time or two that what I'm experencing are panic/anxiety attacks. I thought there was no way because why all of a sudden would that happen? I have no major stress, no real issues, what's wrong with me?

Today, for the first time since this all started, I drove about 3 miles down the road to get dinner. I could feel it all starting again. Like a state of panic.

Why? Why only when I drive? Why all of a sudden and what do I do to help it? I tried focusing on my daughter in the back seat. I talked to her. I tried looking around, thinking of fun things, thinking of my kids. All I could do was hold it together and get my butt back home. The entire time terrified without any reason. This is horrible. Frown
I wonder what's bringing on these panic attacks? I have anxiety attacks occasionally usually when I'm overly stressed and tired. I wish I had answer but I do not.

Are you just worrying so much that you're panicking? Like, the more you try to not worry about something, the more you end up freaking?

Maybe? Like, I try to talk myself down but it doesn't work. First I get sweaty palms and then I get very cold. Then my tummy starts to hurt. Then I get shaky. Then I can feel myself taking short deep breaths. If I try to stop doing that I tend to hold my breath. It's hard to talk because I feel like I can't breathe. I try to focus on other things but it doesn't matter, it still consumes me. Then I get dizzy. If I calm down then I am so tired I can't stay awake.

Does this happen only when you leave home? You're not developing agoraphobia, are you? Hope you find a solution to whatever it is!
I don't think so because it happens at home too.

I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right place...but maybe someone can help me with my question.

I bought a rolling cart for the bathroom last Wednesday at Target. I used the Target Home Bathroom Coupon. It was $19.99 -$10.00 coupon = $9.99. I did get a gift receipt.

I brought it home....it's too big for the space I wanted to put it in, If I return it with my gift receipt, are they going to give me $19.99 for it or $9.99?

It drives me insane because not a week ago (and my entire life) I've been active, handling everything, on the go. I love people. I've never been afraid of new things, strangers, stores, groups, anything. Why all of a sudden, out of the blue, would I panic if I go to target (it happens there too), if I am at the bank, if I drive my car?

Sorry to ramble. I'm just so upset about this. I don't know what in the heck to do to make it stop.

It sounds very frustrating for you. I wonder if you have any defencies like iron or something but not sure that would trigger it, but I know low iron will make you overly tired.

I have panic disorder and it sounds a lot like what I deal with. The more I try to not freak out, the worse it gets. I try to make myself count out my breaths and that keeps me focused enough to calm down.

Has this happened before? Anything about this time of year that might trigger something in you? Or just the 'oh shit, I'm out again and something else might happen?'

:hugs: I know it's scary and I hope you can get some relief soon.

Dreeme & LTL7 I am majorly impressed by your stashes and your organizational skills Smilie

Dreeme I think that sounds like panic attacks too. My wife started experiencing them in her late 20's. The doctor had no explanation, just a prescription for anxiety meds.

when using a TQ, usually you will only get back the 9.99 because Target doesn't get reimbursed for it's own coupons. HTH

For your viewing pleasure! My T Home shelves (the Bronze ones that were $13.49 on sale a few weeks ago, and the silver ones that are TPC for $14.99)

The ones with all the toothpaste are the bronze ones (4 total, 2 side by side, 2 high) and the other 2 with the shampoo is the silver ones (with the towel bar under). The silver ones are on the wall by the shower, so no more tracking water to get shampoo! I was having a problem with the John Frieda standing up on the wire shelves, so I used a cake pan cover for one, but for the other, I bought some plastic placemats today at T, and cut 1 to size for the shelf (as seen in pic 2).

The shampoo, conditioner, razors, and soap we will be using, the toothpaste and toothbrushes, some will probably end up donated, or Halloween treats Big Grin (As a disclaimer, everything was bought in moderate quantities, it just ads up when you make multiple trips per week (and sometimes day). nod

*sorry for the weird angle for the bronze ones, but it's in the "cove" over our garden tub, and hard to get most of it in that little space.
This is fantastic. And thanks for the misc. 411 on T. It was very interesting.

Quote from dreemedayze :
Okay, this was before my HOA had a fit and I had to pack up and move things around. At this point I have about 20 tubs worth of stuff in my garage (mostly Glad, Cesar, Fancy Feast, Colgate, Crest, H&S, Pantene, BIC razors and pens..etc etc) The other 40 tubs (mostly what you see here) is in another town being safely watched for me.
Just out of curiosity, why would your HOA give a crap about what you have in your garage? Very nice set up by the way.

Oh, you are so OUT OF THE CLUB NOW! Tongue j/k

I'm sorry this is happening to you. hug It does sound like panic attacks, I had them for awhile, for no reason. I would just be sitting on the couch and they would start. The more I tried not to have one, the worse it would be. Mine went away, hopefully yours will too!

Another thing I forgot to mention before (I'm driving my DH crazy, I must be getting sick, I can't even finish sentences when I am talking!)

I had one of my Free Sobe MQs I was sent in the mail from the Heads & Tails game. I used it with a Sobe TQ, and it was beepless woot

I feel like 10-second-Tom today Wink
Great news! I was hoping that would be the case. I just got my first one today and was surprised it expires 9/30 - I hope my other ones show up soon!

Random Thought: I would think that JJ labeled as "100% Juice - Grape" would be grape juice, but nope, it's apple & grape juice.

LTL7 - nice use of those shelves.. I actually got one of each for my bathrooms.. Never thought about using them for stockpile storage..

Jamie - I am super impressed with all the stuff you have and how organized it looks.. Mine is in misc tote boxes and a few shelves, but alot of it is just stacked around. I need to have a GS soon.. Haven't stockpiled much lately other than about 150 tooth brushesBig Grin and last week I grabbed about 25 tubes of the clearanced colgate.
Your episodes do sound like panic attacks. My sister started having them last year. SHe went through a whole cardiac workup. They finally told her it was panic attacks and put her on some kind of nerve pill. She did not know what was causing hers either. She said she didn't feel nervous or stressed, but she later figured out it was her job afterall. She took a 2 month leave to do some traveling with her DH. Not one panic attack during that time. 2 days after she returned to work, they started back.. Hers were definitely worse when she was tired. Maybe all the trips to SA and being so busy is catching up with you?? I am sorry you are feeling bad. I know it sucks to not be able to do what you are used tohug

Haven't been into deals thread tonight.. but if we are talking about the same post... I think one was MA'd this afternoonRoll Eyes (Sarcastic) Don't know for sure what you are talking about, but the one I saw was kinda a negative post to slowtech. Good to see it goneCool

Sitting at work tonight.. last day of work before vacation next week.. 13 days off from workbouncebounce

Wow - I am in awe of ya'll's stockpiles. Mine is so tiny comparatively...

Dreeme - I'd love to know where the deal on the tide was at!

I had that happen once, then they kind of disappeared.

I know you've talked a lot about your traveling and how your kids missed you and you missed being home, etc... maybe that is all interconnected somehow and manifesting itself in the panic attacks.

On another note - are there any good home remedies for a possible UTI?? Sadwalk
