Hi my name is Sophia. I have struggled with panic attacks and anxiety since highschool..Iam now 35. On Aug 8, 2010 I had a panic attack that led to hyperventilation, boy was that scary. I never hyperventilated before this was the first time. It led to my hands cramping up and locking in a position where my husband and I thought that I was becoming paralized. He got me to an emergency room and they new right away what was happening. I didnt. I never had experienced that before. Now I spend everyday hoping that I dont hyperventilate again. I live everyday in fear that it will happen. I hate it. I hate living like this. Before this happened I would go years without having a panic attack. Now its almost every other day that Iam having one. And now Im at a point where I just want to throw in the towel and say maybe I need psychiatric help. Im hoping this program works for me. Thanks for reading.

Hi Sophia,

Hang in there! I believe the program will help you alot. I went through it last fall and it has alot of good information. I've hyperventalated more times than I can count! Sometimes daily when stress is high. The deep breathing exercises and learning to breath from you abdomen helps tremendously! Know it feels really scary but you will get better. Take care.

Hi Sophia,

I did the program this past spring, and I've been dealing with the anxiety and depression at least twice as long as you. Believe me, what the psychiatrists and psychologists can do are NOTHING compared with what you can do for yourself through this program. Just be DILIGENT. Follow through. Do the exercises, listening and self-talk EVERY day. I feel like a new person. At first I had to fight guilt about getting over my constant anxiety attacks while others out there are still suffering. But now I know that way of thinking comes from Satan, not God. He wants us all to find our way to happiness. So now I just tell myself, "I've done my time--I will not punish myself any longer." It works!
Best of blessings to you,
Grammie Kathie
