I JUST STARTED HAVING PANIC ATTACKS . ONE IN DEC AND ONE IN JAN. BUT THE ANXIETY SEEMS TO LINGER NOW. EVERYDAY I FEEL LIKE I FIGHT WITH MYSELF AND MY MIND TO STOP THINKING ABOUT IT OR BEING FEARFUL.
I DID THE DOCTOR THING...CHECKED HEART,HEAD,EYES. ETC JUST BECAUSE I DIDNT UNDERSTAND HOW ANXIETY CAN CAUSE PHYSICAL SYMPTONS. AND FEAR.

Do you have the program. It will be helpful to have the tools to help you while trying to deal with this. Anxiety produces a lot of strange symptoms that may be difficult to deal with without help.

Your anxiety didn't come quickly. It took years to get to the point of having a panic attack. Lots of years of negative thinking. But it doesn't have to take that long for it to go away, but don't expect it to go away overnight.
