Fear - coping with wanting to get high

Yesterday I had a heart episode.
I am fine. I slept amazing lastnight. I even got to sleep in. I am afraid that this will end up as a regular occurrence eventhough I have been doing great and no issues in that way.
I have a nagging fear, trepidation and feeling threatened. I am actually in hypervilegence mode which is not where I want to be (CPTSD).
I am afraid to go to counseling because of travelling alone in my wheelchair. I have no physical support. My urges are there wanting to get high so that I can feel confidence & not feel this way.

I’m sorry, I might have missed something. Why in wheelchair now or have you always been?

Last year September
Lupus - autoimmune disease

I’m sorry (again). Is this a permanent situation? Always will be in said chair?

One can hope for spontaneous recovery.
For now yes.
I can use my cane at times - only very short distances. I don’t have the stanima, endurance or tolerance in my muscles. There are times I am in insurmountable pain (thankful it hasn’t been too bad of late).

I have muscle atrophy. I sat at 5% muscle mass for an incredible length of time (years). My specialist said it can take years and even if I do regain the muscles are damaged from my illness
