This was my biggest problem when I was in my worst days of anxiety and panic attacks. I could not drive anywhere by myself. To this day it seems to be the only thing that causes anxiety if ever I get it now. What I did was to simply go out little by little. Just going down your own street maybe then...

I feel this way especially after having finished the program. The last 3 weeks I had been completely anxiety free, and this week I feel a lot more anxiety than usual for some reason, but I figure since this happens to everyone that next week I will probably be feeling better. I think the most import...

I figured this out today as well, that I maybe in a way "fear" being independant, but I dont have to be, and I know that now. Everyday I figure out better ways to prevent myself from making me nervous and it just keeps getting better.

Lately I have been getting anxiety for no reason. It bothers me a bit since I was doing so well but I suppose I just have to deal with it and do my best not to let it scare me. Maybe it is more annoying than it is scary anyway.

Through my experiences with panic attacks and anxiety and learning to overcome them I have found that taking time to listen to relaxing music really helps you destress, apart from the relaxation session of the program.

I had been afraid to drive since a few months ago. It all started because I had my WORST panic attack while driving to a doctor's appointment. I am now on session 4 of the program and can now drive to my college classes, half hour drive away from where I live. The only way to get rid of the fear of ...

Before my panic attacks started happening to me (About 4 months ago) My average blood pressure was about 118/72 and today I went to the doctor for a retinal photo and my blood pressure was 145/75 I think. What makes it worse is that the doctor asks me if I have blood pressure problems with a very co...

When my panic attacks were bad I liked watching these two movies:

Balls of Fury and Fun with Dick and Jane. They helped me forget about my problem.

I figure since a lot of people are posting about their triumphs I would to. Two months ago I could hardly leave my room without having a panic attack. Little by little through both this program and a book I read on panic attacks, I have completed two weeks of my college classes which are half hour d...
