Stress Center Peer Support

This is my first time posting. I am a 31 year old female and have had anxiety/panic disorder, agoraphobia and depression for 14 years. I'm ready to take control of my life. I started the program a few weeks ago so I am starting session 4 tomorrow. I would like to have a buddy to go through this with. If anyone is interested, let me know!

Hi, Im on session 8 now. I havent had a panic attack in weeks. I do get that looming fog that one might happen. No I know its my fear of one coming on again. I invite the panic to come and Im not scared. I think running away makes it worse. Keep doing your relaxation and know, you wont go crazy or die. Its just your body asissting you with adrenaline cause it thinks your in danger. I hope this helps, your not alone! There millions of us out here struggling and beating anxiety.

Thanks for replying! I really don't have panic attacks too often anymore. My whole issue is CONSTANT worrying that something is physically wrong with me..(I.e that I have cancer, a brain tumor, or I'm going to have a heart attack..etc) I have a serious fear of doctors, hospitals and needles. Anything health related completely freaks me out. I am trying so hard to think positive and not live in fear all day everyday....it's just so hard!

How are you doing on the program?

Hey all, id love to buddy up... or at least be a regular poster. Its definitely frustrating the limited posts / replies in here.
