hi guys,
i could use some help. i'm new here. I've been suffering from anxiety and panic for 8 years now. I bought the book "From panic to power" 3 months after my first panik attack and it helped me get by. However the panic kept coming back and has been my constant companion for the past years. I tried the programme two years back. Again it helped but it keeps coming back. I can't seem to overcame the actual fear of the fear. My mom has a mental illness, so i keep thinking i will end up like her. Can anyone relate? I'm having a very tough time just now and could use some prectical advice.
Thank you in advance.

Congratulations at least you are back on track and working at giving it another go. I would however suggest thatyou let go of the thought that your mother had a mental illness and that you could end up like her, 
first of all you are not your mother and this story that we have been programmed over the years about heredity is just that a story......you are you a very unique individual and what ever is happening to you is being created by you and your thoughts and patterns from what and how you processed life's events. I am not a expert on this however in my experience and the fact that i am on this programm also shows me that if i can change my way of experiencing things i have a least a hope of moving on with my life in a better way. if you are having a tough time give your panic a shape or form even give it a nickname and give it some love and attention and see what happens. having given you this little bit of nonsense i'm off to give mine a form and name, so when i get back to this forum i will let you know what name i found for mine.
