I've been through a LOT lately and it does help me to write it out here because, like you, if I vent to my spouse too much I feel that I'm stressing them too much or that they will get tired of me being "sick" all the time, etc! Post all you need to, if it helps you-it does me!
I have suffered panic attacks on and off in my life, I have depression and LOTS of anxiety. I stay on a low dose of anti-depressants and I use Xanax for the anxiety. Unlike ad's, Xanax can be taken just as needed. I sometimes go many months without them at all, sometimes I take them daily, 2 or 3 times a day for months. Depends on whats going on in my life and how I'm feeling. You may benefit from Xanax or something similar when you get these feelings as it works pretty fast, 15-20 minutes. I've also been seeing a shrink now for about 2 years and thats help me a great deal.
I've gotten he flu shot the last 2 years and I've never had stomach upset from it. Maybe a day of achy, tired kind of thin but nothing serious. I now also carry Purell in my purse and have a pump bottle on my desk. If someone comes into my office coughing or sneezing, I don't hesitate to hand them the purell and ask them to us it! I'd rather seem a little rude than get sick!
