I hope you get a handle on these panic attacks. I had to go on Zoloft to help me through I thought I was going to go crazy take care God Bless.

I have a hard time believing it will go away sometimes too. I find myself wanting to cry that I am going through this again. I find myself panicking more because I have been on medicine for over a year and it seems to have stopped working...then I panic about having to go on something else and what if that does not work.....I know, those what if thoughts....they are hard to break.
The best thing is that you recognize what your thoughts are creating. It takes time for that pattern to change. I agree about pulling out the tapes again.

Marty Ann,
The truth of the matter is this...anxiety, once we have it, never fully leaves us. We simply learn how to cope and manage and live happy despite it. I'm sure you have felt anxiety free the past 5 years and that is awesome. But you probably along the lines somewhere felt little twinges. Now, the problem you have and that I have is that when things are going well we tend to forget our coping skills and we become complacent and begin to rely on our own methods which got us here to begin with.
Please be encouraged! You have what it takes to beat this, you've done it before so you KNOW you can do it again. I HATE anxiety. But I don't fear it. when i feel it creeping in i simply talk boldly to it and very matter of fact. I don't run scared from it. Attack it Marty Ann. You have all the tools and skills.
I deal more with scary thouhgts so I'm practicing what I am preaching. You're not alone. God wants your life. He deserves your life. Turn everything over to Him. He's in charge of it all anyway!! You also have support here and hopefully with family and friends.
Stay cool because you are cool.

Thank you for all of your encouraging words!! I will reread them again and again to remind me of what my self talk should be. Thank you for the prayers. It is evening so now i can get a respit from the panic. With God all things are possible. I had several friends pray with me today, I read my Bible, exercised and listened to week 3 tapes and the relaxation tapes. Thank you again for responding to my cries for help. Thank you for the note that dulce moved to Europe. We are leaving on vacation tomorrow and I have told my family they may have to strongly encourage me to get in the car for the 4 days of driving. I need to not fear the anxiety. You are all beautiful to answer my post.
God bless,
Marty Ann

marty,
did you go on vacation? I am having a hard time facing my fears,when we say (cured)(recovered) whatever you want to call it I have came to realize there isn't a cure for something that is not a disease you can't be rid of anxiety because it is a normal reaction to stress we as panic suffers take it one step farther greatly exgerate add a lot to it,I could go on and on I am trying to wrap my mind around the thoughts I am doing this to myself don't exgerate it and face the things you fear in the right way you can recover I am reading for the umpteen time Claire Weekes book ( Hope and Help for your nerves)she makes a lot of good points the only real way out of fear is thru it pass thru to the other side this is a mountain for me because I don't want to do it.I want to sit and wait for a cure ha I have took medicine for almost 30 yrs I am better than I was in the beginning but just functioning can drive to one town by myself can actually work have been for 9 yrs but always looking over my shoulder for when the panic catches up with me again.
I found a web site, Panicend.com when I first read it I thought ike I can't do that I have went back and followed some of the ones on the site that have recoverd using this method it would probably work if you could face and not run yes this is all a bluff we don't have a chemical imblance at least not most and for me I was in stress overload the one day wham the big one my life changed for ever all the self pity won't work just adds to it and had all the informaton pen pals back in the 80s read books even the one I mentioned but because it taught facing could not find the courage packed everything away for years then today because of life issuses started realizing I am tired of living like this and wanting to get better don't know if I can find the courage I have been working on some limitations it reminds me of some one afraid of water and just going up sticking their feet in and running back if I can learn to laugh at the situation and not feel sorry for myself hope things are going good for you
