K~
You are a girl after my very own heart. I moved away from my home state two years ago as well to go to graduate school to be a clinical social worker of all things! I began my internship working in a critical care unit and doing greif counseling (like I have mentioned before, I was at one time rock hard). With the stress of working at the hospital, I began working out at 6am, I also began drinking coffee (black two cup each morning) I too began to have panic attacks (I agree the world "hell" comes to mind). For school I did a research study about coffee and panic attacks. From this I found the high correlation and discontinued coffee use, with this my panic attacks stopped. Besides that last year went off without a hitch.
When I returned to school this year, I left a boyfriend and my parents behind. I expected to be sad but started becoming depressed which came on as irritabilty, mood swings and extreme sadness. I still was alway functional, never spent the day in bed ect so I was not sure what was going on with me so I thought it was homesickness combined with a boyfriend 9 hours away in law school (again the word "hell" comes to mind). Well, then the story pretty much has to do with the birth control ect, ect. So now I am working on how to forget depression. Its not in my family nor have I ever had an episodes even though I have been though 4 major life changing events which may have brought one on.
Anyway, sorry for rambling on, its just nice to find someone to talk to about all this stuff, around my friends and family I try to act like nothing is wrong unless its really wrong.
Have a great weekend,
Lexy
