I’m not talking about my daughter who we dropped off for her first day of kindergarten just a minute ago. I’m talking about me. It’s been 15 years since i attended school. The odd social fears and anxieties came flooding back the moment I walked into that school. I felt enclosed. I felt crowded. I felt overwhelmed.
While it may sound odd that a 33 year old man would have a mild panic attack in an elementary school there are reasons behind it. I suffer from Dysthymia, mild ADHD, mild OCD and General Anxiety Disorder. I take Wellbutrin and Paxil each day to help with my issues.
I was so caught up this morning in the whole first day of school for our first born moment that I forgot to take my medication before we left. The mild episode I suffered this morning however was a good reminder that no matter how good I may feel, it is imperative that I continue to take the medication each day.
I just felt like sharing that. Not sure why.
