It was Thanksgiving day 2004. We had just left our last stop of the day and were headed to the radio station where I worked just to double check something for the long weekend. As we approached the highway exit I began to experience what I thought was a heart attack.
I was really scared. We called 911 and I said my goodbyes to my kids, wife and mother. I thought I was a goner. When the ambulance arrived and got me inside, they did their thing and told me something I'd never heard of before...I wasn't having a heart attack...It was a panic/anxiety attack and I would not die that night.
I was confused, lost and relieved. But I didn't know anything about panic or anxiety, not to mention all the other things that I would soon be diagnosed with.
I never tooks pills in my life and now I was faced with 10-15 pills each day. I knew something had to be done, I just didn't know where to start. So if I can can help anyone else get on the right path, I'd love to offer some help.
