Hello

Just having a lousy day in a really lousy week. But better times will come! I'm in Portugal and it's past midnight here and due to all the medication I'm literally fall asleep... I've started the program. Just about to finish week one! I admit my hope has droppen sharply this last week. At the same time (and i'm not kidding) I have a bonsai tree named Hope so I'm constantly saying stuff like "Hiope needs taking care off", "Hope needs feeding". It reminds me that it's out there for me too! For all of us! Once again, thank you! I'm off to bed soon... Tomorrow is another day! A better day hopefully! :)

First of all, your not a downer and please do not apologize for coming here, for telling us your problems. Do not feel bad, you are a great person. We all are, we just have a few problems in our lives that we are trying our best to work through. None of us are here to judge you or anyone else. If anything we are happy that you have come here, that we will help you as much as we can. Secondly, there is hope. You have to try and get yourself thinking that there is a way, there is a light on the other end of the tunnel. I know how hard it is. When I am feeling anxiety of am having a panic attack it feels like it is the end of the world for me. If you ever have a moment where there is nothing on your mind, take that minute to think that you are ok, that there is a way out. Start trying to believe. Use this program, try all that you can. You can do this, we all can.

Thanks for your support! Well, I'm on Xanax, Lorsedal (Lorazepam), Victan (as an SOS for panic attacks) and Paxil, for the last three years... My therapist is doing the best she can. We're starting on relaxation techniques next Monday. I'm a bit lost on the "help myself departement". One step was coming here, to try and understand my condition, to find support and try and make some sense of it all. This has been a really hard week for me... I'm really tired and facing the possibilty of this turning into a life time condition for me is something I'm having a really big problem in accepting... They told me I'd be fine in 6 months... Once again thanks! I'm usually not such a downer. I'm sorry! Ana

What medications are you on? How long have you been on meds? What is your therapist doing to help you? What are you doing to help yourself? Coming on here is a good start. We are all here to help, we are all here to listen and are all going through what you are going through. There are answers, there are things out there to help, we just gotta let ourselves know that it will be ok, we can get through this.

My name is Ana and I've been suffering from generalized anxiety, panic attacks ands mild depression for over 3 years. Recently I've been admitted twice to Hospital with a severe panic attacks, something that didn't happen for a while. I feel like I've given several steps back and that I am at an all time low. I'm on medication for all my conditions and I'm being followed by a therapist. But right now I feel I'm beyong help and that I will live with these conditons for the rest of my life. And that's a thought I cannot bear...
