How do you gain such courage? It has finally dawned on my you have 2 options in life, you can stay where your at, depressed, frustrated, angry or you can get of you but and make that change. I have tried in the past but at the first setback I give up, where does the determination come from to keep going?

Hi dj :) :) :),
I directed my anger towards the panic attacks, so anger was my motivator to overcome them!!!

I made a conscious decision to get out there and float through those panic attacks!!!

I looked at it this way...What type of life did I have just existing and never feeling alive???

I became "fed up to the gill" and that is when I decided to get out there and take action!!!

I think "anger" is an excellent motivator!!! When one gets "totally" fed up, then they will do whatever it takes to overcome those horrific "panic attacks"...

I had "enough" and "enough is enough"..so, I just got out there and began living my life and finally I lost my fear of the panic attacks, so they ceased to come my way!!!

I made the decision after suffering for 21 years from agoraphobia, panic attacks accompanied by depression!!!

I was not about to allow those panic attacks to live my life for me, not one more day!!!

I made a decision to live my life, regardless of how I was feeling at the time!!!

I think this is what we all have to do to really overcome these things!!!

We all have to reach that point where we say to those "panic attacks"...I am much stronger than you, and I am going to live my life, whether you like it or not!!!

I pray this helped you in some way!!! Have a beautiful day filled with much sunshine, joy and laughter!!!

May God richly bless you on your journey to recovery!!! Cloie
