Born in Milan Italy some time ago.Just after a legal drinking age,decide to challenge my self an explore new country. I allways dreamed about California. Never left it.(a lot of balls!! consider my english was at that time limited to 7 words max also with out knowing any body. Where are now?)I got my first panic attack ad age 26,I had no idea what was going on. That panic would marck me forever.I have try to deal with this condition for years,now my world it getting smaller an smaller.I still do my dailly think(groumming,driving,go to work,deal with kids an spouse,socialize ecc.)even if I dont whant to do it. It's my responsabillity.I am like a car in 1st gear with emergensy breake on,most of the day specialy at work.I get a lot of deazzy spills,it seems my breain have registrate all the time I had a deazzy spills, so every time I do the same think I was doing when I go that first deazzy spills I get deazzy.It come down to when I walk I get deazzy so I freack out I get more deazzy so on an on an on. Some time I am doing stuff with out thinking about the deazziness I dodnt get deazzy,but the soon I think about it the deazziness come back. I know I am doing it to my self, but I cant stop that down spieroll thinking. What do I do? I am not enjoy my day any more( at work,with the family,friends,days off)it is pretty strange,fifteen years ago I could go in a different country an make life out of it. Now I am afraid to walk.

Good morning, ME from Milan:
That same courage that brought you to California
when you didn't know anyone there, is still inside of you!!
Do you have the program, Attacking Anxiety??
If so began to apply all the suggestions in it to your life.
Listen to the relaxation cd as often as you can.
Practice the breatheing tecniques. That will help the dizziness, too.
You've come to the right place.
Post here often.
And read as others share with you.
You are going to defeat the anxiety and depression and feel strong again.
Wishing you every success,
MJ

Cornflower has given some great advice, here!!!

Feeling dizzy is no fun...Using the tools in the program, and changing your negative way of thinking will lower your anxiety, and when your anxiety level decreases, then your dizziness will go away...

I pray that between Cornflower and me, that you get busy trying to lower your anxiety...God Bless
