I have went through 3 and 4 day episodes of anxiety. Just yesterday I had a day of it. While I have not experienced the agorophobic symtoms of many here I can relate to the overwhelming anxious feelings. I feel for you and my heart goes out to you as I know many here who will read your post do. While it may sound trite the truth is "This WILL PASS" It will not last forever even though it may feel that way. This really is nothing more than chemical reations to thoughts and feelings that have little or no real weight or meaning. You have had peace before and I promise you IT WILL RETURN. While it may not feel like it now, the fact that you are reaching out with the program and this chat line proves you are in the right mindset. You recognize and are dealing with it. You are so much STRONGER than you give yourself credit for. Those of us here who understand whta you are going through are here for you. The Lord Himself draws near to those in any kind of anguish. You are going to be fine. You will make it through this. It really is only a fear of the feelings and nothing more. God bless you and I know I will see you on the other side of victory.

To needhope
Read my post above. 3 weeks ago, I was in bed with the covers over my head. I was on vacation and was due to go back to work during the worst point in these attacks. The attacks got so bad, that depression kicked in. I promise you that you will get better. You'll need to give this program all you have ! You'll need to make an honest effort in this. You're worth it. I also promise you that before you know it, tomorrow will become a distant memory. You'll go to work tomorrow and it will not be the way you're picturing it now. I know that from experience. Eventually you won't need the Celexa either. You'll get your life back before you know it, but it will take hard work. You deserve to get better. You don't deserve to live the life you are now. Just realize that you aren't alone. No one is.

jp4life87,
Do the deep breathing exercises to slow and calm your breathing. I used to wear a watch that took by bpm and drove myself into a higher state of anxiety, I tossed the watch. Just remember that the anxiety is not going to hurt you. If you get used to feeling it, it will not be as strong or as scary.
