I decided to go into detail because if you see this and can relate, there is help and you don’t need to suffer. HealthPiper and Dr. Freeman genuinely saved my life a few years ago. 2010 -2017 was a rough time. In 2010, I had just finished aggressive cancer treatment, that left me unable to have children, when my husband of 12 years decided he wanted a divorce, My grandma/best friend had died 3 months earlier, and our dog died 2 weeks later (peacefully, but it was a shock. He was my constant companion) and within a few months, life as I knew it was over. By the end of 2012 I had lost my job, by the end of 2013 I had lost my home. I filed for bankruptcy and then I fell apart. I was in pain every day but I felt like I could treat my symptoms naturally, and tried every supplement, tea and diet there was. I could not function. I felt paralyzed by fear. By 2015 my life was out of control (I didn’t know it was anxiety then). I had to drink a bottle of wine just to pass out for a while because I was so afraid to sleep (my brain went into overdrive as soon as my head hit the pillow, and even when I could sleep I would wake 2 hours later with my heart racing) My panic attacks lasted for days. sleeplessness, shaking, crying, heart palpitations. I also wasn’t leaving the house for months at a time. I had a complete breakdown and was about to be evicted. No one understood what was happening, especially me. Naturally my folks were worried. After probably 5 other suggestions, in 2017, my mom sent me the link to HealthPiper. I was desperate but fear kept me from leaving my house. I was able to do a remote visit from home with Dr. Freedman and i realized very quickly that this was much different than talking to my GP. Dr Freedmen understood what was happening and worked with me to find a treatment that worked. It took a while but at each step I felt better. Within 2-4 months of finding the correct medication I began sleeping a little longer. And I began working out in a private Pilates class, I would go for drives, and then I finally went grocery shopping and began doing that every week (supermarkets were my main panic attack trigger). I was eventually able to go back to work, and today I have an amazing job and rent a cute house. I yawn like I used to (if you’ve ever had sleep anxiety you know how good it feels to yawn 🙂). and both my optimism and outgoing nature have returned. I haven’t had a panic attack in 2 1/2 years. I just feel good and I am genuinely content and happy most days. I realize this is a novel but I’m hoping i can help someone. If you are reading this and feeling similar, Please ask for help. If you feel stuck or scared or even too apathetic to care, this app is a lifeline. I wish I hadn’t waited so many years to see a psychiatrist. Thank you Dr. Freedman 🙂 you really changed my life and I appreciate you more than you can ever know.
