Kathie, Thank you for your encouraging words & insight. It's an inspiration to hear what works for others. Reading my Bible helps me stay focused too. I've been the prodigal daughter several times in my life and every time I walk out His doors, inevitably worry, anxiety, stress, and panic eventually...

me~n, Yes, I know exactly what you are explaining. I've experienced all your mentioned symptoms too. Finally, my therapist explained to me why the body jerks. She explained that it has to do with the nervous system & when it gets to a point where it is overloaded the body shakes, and can even jerk. ...

Yeah, I've gone to the emergency room several times as well. In fact, the last time I had this jerking I went to the hospital and they were convinced I was on drugs! They kept saying "what did you take?" "Tell us what you took!" Finally, when the blood work came back they knew that I was telling the...

Okay, so I have read a ton of literature and self help books on anxiety and they all have incorporated the same theme that you will "not lose control during a panic attack". However, I have lost complete control 2 times during an anxiety attack in public. The very thing I feared most...happened. Has...
