Its like half of me says ok its just the symptoms of anxiety and the other half says you having a hard attack..It is so hard because i always up having a panic attack. I think I'm getting depressed because of them. They just don't go away. I have xanax but i hate taking it, I haven't taking it for more then a 2weeks now. It makes my head hurt.

I, have felt like I was totally out of control, I couln't breath, my life was upside down, I was spinning my wheels daily. Your not alone, your a normal person, just believe in yourself. I, give myself permission to take a break from my worries and fears, just laugh, and know your life is important and the sun still shines. When you get to feeling out of control tell yourself how grateful you are that your not alone and you have so much to learn and teach others, remember, you hold the key to your freedom. You are a strong, smart, person and I am glad that I read what you wrote, I, have been there. Thank you for helping me believe and I hope I have helped you....Remember, you are stonger than you know...God Bless...Your friend ERB

Hi david...I know exactly what your talking about. When I first began the program, I understood that panic wouldn't hurt me and I read all the common symptoms, but when I would began to panic I would just forget all that I read. At first when I did positive self talk I did not believe a word of what I told myself, I was still scared that the body symptoms were something else, but I still told myself positive things. The more I practiced positive self talk the more I began to believe the good, true things I was telling myself. David it all takes time and practice. I was having 4-5 big panic attacks a day for about a year so I know how you feel. I also know that it can change for the better. Don't give up, do your best to stay positve and keep doing the program. It is hard to believe that the panic is just panic and won't hurt you, but keep telling yourself that. One day you will find that you KNOW it won't hurt you!

Good luck.
