How does someone know if its just anxiety or a real medical problem? I have been through a lot of test in the last year and they havent found anything wrong with me, but I just can't believe that I feel the way I do all because of anxiety/panic. I just feel terrible ALL THE TIME, If it was anxiety/panic wouldnt there be times when I feel ok? I feel sick all the time.

Welcome Aznate: I know the feeling. I got to the point where I had to take Medication for Anxiety/Panic attacks. I felt Dizziness all the time. But I've finaly ordered Lucinda's program and I'am learning how to manage the anxiety and panic attacks with the methods she gives you on the disc's. There are alot of good people on here that are going thru or had gone thru the same thing you and I are going thru. Just give it time. and "We are here to talk to" Good luck

Thanks Two-Shay......I'm doing the program, I'm in session 2.....I think the program is great. I just have this major fear that there is something seriously wrong with me and the Doctors are just not putting together the pieces.....And that scare me to death.

Hi Aznate,
I was sick the whole time. They couldn't find anything wrong with me. I needed to relax and occupy my brain with other things than illnesses. That really helped for me.

I sometimes still feel sick but I do know now that it is my anxiety and not my body or brain. Hopfully this helps a little.

Aznate...Please believe me when I tell you there is nothing physically wrong with you!!!

I suffered from agoraphobia, anxiety and panic attacks, accompanied by depression for 21 years of my life....

I had every physical symptom under the sun, and it was all just the anxiety and depression talking...

I thought I was dying all day long, every day of my life...I am now 46, and very much alive!!!!

You are fine...You are not going crazy, you are not having a heart attack, you are not dying from some terminal illness...You are just suffering from a panic disorder, which really does drain every ounce of your energy, and makes you feel terribly ill!!!

So, just replace all those negative thoughts about your health with the truth. You are healthy!!!!

May You Have a Great Night!!! God Bless!!!

Thanks Hort & Ms. T Bones that is very helpful to hear...I will just take it one day at a time and keep plugging away at the program.

God bless you both!!!!!

Aznate...You are sooo welcome..

I suggest that you read the thread I posted called "Hello Everyone" beneath this posting on the forum....

Then, I suggest that you watch the Overcoming panic attack video directly below that posting...

This video is very therapeutic, and I am sure will be of much help to you...God Bless
