Hello anabell, I feel the same way you do about living with panic and anxiety the rest of my life. It is depressing, but I just that one day at a time, see a psychologist and psychatrist, for help, Family and friends can help but some just don't get it. I hope the program helps- purpleisme :)

Feeling but better, thank you!! :) And I've been taking the dog out... hehehe! The last couple of days have been a bit easy on me. Among all the things that are stressing me out, one was a family gathering that's happening tomorrow. I didn't want to go, for very valid reasons (maybe one day I'll share them with you), but was afraid to upset my Dad. This has happened dozens of times! I don't want to go, I take more meds than I should just not to have a panic attack in front of everybody and when I finaly get home, I have a panic attack anyway... It's very difficult for me to deal with this so this time around I gather the nerve and said "I'm not going. I'm too busy.". I'm 30 year old girl. I have the right to choose what I want or not want to do, within reason of course. My Dad actually replied if he could come up with a good excuse he wouldn't go either... heheeh. How your parents can surprise you huh? So I'm feeling better! One less thing to worry about! Even done some shopping and all! :) Thanks for being here, Cheryl! Hugs, Ana

Great! I look forward to hearing about it. Once you can get comfortable with it its really helpful. You can use it anytime as a way to help you relax when you are feeling anxious! I cannot believe you have all those animals. I just responded to your other post (about not being able to take the dog for a walk). I certainly hope you made it out or you're gonnna have one heck of a mess to clean up in the house!! :)

Hello Cheryl! Well, if you must know apart from the bonsai tree, I have 9 cats, a dog and a turtle. I heard that too. That it helps plants and it might help me too. I'll give it a go! After all she's the newsest member in my household. And I need all the hope I can get! I can't wait to do relaxation therapy. It's something I've never done before. Just meds, meds and more meds... :( Tomorrow will be my first time. I'll let you know how it went! Thank you! Hugs, Ana

Anabel....I love the thing you got going with your bonsai tree! What a great idea. They say that plants need to be talked to anyway, so you talking to her might just be theraputic for you. Let us know how you do with the relaxation therapy. I did it for a while. Felt kind of silly at first until I saw that it was working. Once you learn to truly relax you can do it at home. So pay attention when you go. My therapist actually had me bring a tape with me so we could record the session and I used it at home,

Annabel, Welcome to the Panic Center online support group. The Panic Center offers personalized, interactive tools that have helped thousands of people challenge and overcome their anxiety and panic. If you look to the left of the screen under "TOOLS" you will find many supportive tests. These tests are not diagnostic tools and are not a replacement or substitute for a physicians advice. The purpose of these tests is to prepare you with information that you can present to your physician. When you're finished the test, you can either print your Final Report or email it directly to your doctor. We also have developed a Panic Program. This program is 12-weeks and involves the tools mentioned above. Each session is based on the previous session, so we strongly advise that you work slowly through the program and not jump ahead. Annabel, each person has unique goals in their treatment. Some wish to overcome specific fears, while others may be tired of going to the emergency room with panic symptoms. Whatever your motivation, cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is a common and very effective treatment for anxiety and panic. You can use the tools whether or not you are taking medication, and whether or not you are currently seeing a therapist or mental health professional. We hope that you will take advantage of our free programs and please feel free to post with us again at your own pace. Melanie ______________________ The PC Support Team
