Hi fear not,
Don't know that i will be much help to you as i just started the program yesterday, but i know it helps just to know someone is there that understands what you're going through. Like i said i've only been at it for 2 days now but have already used the breathing from the relaxation cd just this morning when i felt an attack coming on. It did help with that terrible feeling where you feel like you can't breath at all. It looks like you've been at this for a while according to your regester date. So about the best sugestion i can give you myself, just being a newbee, take a deep breath and remember all the tools, i'v yet to learn, that have gotten you this far! Hope my sugestion helps and your day gets better!

Hello Fear Not,

So sorry and understand how your feeling as mine has been back off and on also. Is there anything you have changed at all...diet, sleep, or is there an issue going on in your life possibly that has triggered this?

I have eaten a few things that I shouldn't be eating so am thinking that may be what's going on with me.

I think also that when we have had control oer the attacks or depression, stress, panic attacks that it feels so much worse to us when we get hit again. Try to remember all the positive self talk and distract yourself someway that just gets your mind in a different place. The weather was beautifull this afternoon so I walked all through the forested area that is around our property and took a ton of pics of all the fall foliage and just tried to think of how blessed I am to be able to enjoy natures beauty. It did help, I also did 2 sessions of the relaxation cd and breathing deeply for 20 minutes, that really relaxed me. Maybe if you havn't tried any of those skills it might be worth a shot at it. Also try talking in a very kind, compassionate and soothing voice to yourself..yes out loud!!
Tell yourself what a good person you are and be as caring as you would to someone else.

You are a gift to yourself and the world...REMEMBER THAT ALWAYS!!

I truly ope this passes again and you feel better tomorrow.

God Bless!

hey sorry to hear that you are having a bad time the only thing i can tell you being that i am fairly new to this is got back to the beginning i think when we start to feel better and start attacks again we get disappointed in ourselves which makes things worse remember that we are only human and make mistakes being kind and easy to yourself you will get through this stay strong and hope you get to feeling better soon

I'm new here but looking back for me confidence in myself or lack of puts me over the edge. I remember last year after having problems with panic, my wife got me running and gaining a lot of self confidence and sence of accomplishment I had very few problems. Well until my hip was severed and the down time wears at it. But I'm back to running and want to explore what's in my head. I just got the program and it makes sence. Chin up positive manner. Number one is looking over you. ;)

dear fearnot, just keep telling yourself, This to shall pass. say it over and over.I just finished session 2, maybe you should give it another listen to? We're all out here pulling for ya, your not alone.
Give me courage, Lord, to sail, my boat out from the shore. I'd rather feel the ocean's gale and hear the tempest roar, than to anchor safely in some bay, because fear conquered me. Let craft less daring, inland stay. Be mine the pathless sea.
