Stress Center Peer Support

This is my first time putting a message on here..so bare with me. I have had panic attacks for a long time now even as I write this my heart is beating fast and hard.. I find it hard to breathe and even want to stop writing hoping that it will subside. My panic seems to be getting worse and more often over more simple things and it worries me that what if it becomes so bad that I won't leave my house, or move on with my life..everything seems harder, more difficult to do. I feel as though I have lost everything. I have always been this strong, self motivated, confident, secured woman who could overcome anything but life has been so crappy and as I look at other people I want to know "why". Why does crappy things always happen to me? I am tired of being strong. I am just tired. I don't understand most all things. I used to not take crap off of anyone and now I can't seem to stick up for myself. I want to ball up and cry my eyes out but am too scared too. I know God loves me and I am his child but I ask Him all the time why He made me...was it for His amusement? I wish I could be the person I used to be. I know that I am smart and talented, funny, easy to be around but something could happen in an instant to trigger my anxiety and I want to run. I have battled with my past, my parents past, and I feel like there's this black cloud that follows me and I can never get away. Is this how my life is just supposed to be and I should just deal with it...Is there anyone out there that can relate? And will I ever gain control of this? Is this inherited?

I was also a very strong well liked confident person , but over the last few months I have discovered that it was the way I was living my life that caused this .my Life right now feels real crappy, Ifeel sick all the time and worried but I know if I stick to my guns and make the changes it will get better! It's getting alittle better every day. soldier on.
