Hello Everyone

Hello all : ) Just found this site while browsing again, in desperation for help. I am a male in his early thirties and have have suffered anxiety on and off for most of my late teen and adult life. It started with situations at home during that time. I went through therapy at the time and it seemed to resolve my issues and up until recently this has never been a problem and I have always managed to control it.

But over the last couple of years things have deteriorated drastically and left me a wreck. My anxiety has turned into a panic disorder and it feels like I have lost control. Each day I feel scared and anxious, without any real reason, well apart from the ones in my head! This has left me feeling so alone and isolated, I feel there is no escape and I will probably lose the plot.

I have a Wife and a young child, 1yr old, whom I want to continue to protect and provide for. What can I do for them if I feel this inadequate and scared. I am sure my wife does not know the extent of my anxiety. I feel so ashamed to tell her the truth.

I just hope and pray I can feel like my old confident self again one day. But I think I have let my anxiety get to stage there is no return from. It is horrible and terrifying. The negative thoughts are paralysing.

But on a positive note I am going to give the program a go, because I have good feeling about this site after reading some of the posts.

Sorry for ranting on and thanks for listening.

Hello Everyone

Hi, Thank you so much for your kind words and support. Just the fact that you have listened and replied has made me feel a bit better and more optimistic.

Well I have started the program, completed chapter 1&2 and flicked through a few of the others. It is quite amazing how quickly I started to change my thinking after just the first couple of chapters. Panic attacks are still there but now I can see light at the end of the tunnel instead of a dead end. I do really, really hope this works and the fact that I have all of you kind people for support fills me with hope.

I have made a promise to myself to see this program through and to login to the site daily. May I add this is by far the best website for panic attacks I have come accross. Believe me I have visited quite a few!

I hope all of you are coping well and getting better each and everyday, thank you so much for your support may peace be with you all, God Bless.

Hello Everyone

Hi Ashley,

Not one thing in particular, more a very good combination. First of all is the support from the community and the feeling and knowing that you are not suffering alone. The stories of people's will power which gives massive encouragement to me. The numerous success stories I have read through in the forums. The kind word and thoughts and of course the wonderful programme which I find quite unique and very helpful.

Panic and Anxiety a place where there is so much negativity and gloom is over shadowed by the abundance of positive energies from members who have battled, overcome and continue battling this illness. My hat is of to you all, keep up the good work.

I am a long, long way off being back to my normal self but I am filled with confidence each time I visit here. It almost keeps me going if you will. The communities struggles and battles help me to keep fighting mine.

Can't put a finger on it really just get a really good vibe from the site and all of its members. Something I have found no where else.

I hope one day I can put my own positive energies back in and be a comfort to someone else.

Oh and thank you to all for responding and welcoming me.

New Here too

Hi Kendra,

Welcome and well done for starting the program, something I think you will find most beneficial.

I have been here a few weeks now and feel a big positive difference. The program and the forums are working well for me.

I suffer from horrendous panic attacks but just being part of this group has given me so much relief. I am sure it will do the same for you.

I think you will be fine Kendra. You have studied hard and graduated from college, by far not an easy task, congratulations! On top of that a full time Mum, Excellent work.

Stick with the program and read through the forums it will help you loads, also make sure you do the homework, v.important.

Keep reading and keep posting and keep to the program its a fantastic combination. The community is so great too, just amazing how we can help each other, so much positive. loving, caring energies.

We are all here for you Kendra.

My warmest and best wishes your new friend, Jas

Great Site

Hi James and a very warm welcome

I am fairly new too but have benefited well from the program and our loving community in relatively short period of time.

I get where you are coming from with the depression bit, as it has occassionally happened to me over the years. You get sick and fed up with constant panic that it turns into mild depression. Well it does for me sometimes.

Well done for starting the program and keep at it because it works! Keep reading the posts and adding, the community listening and offering their kind words has helped me loads.

This is such a beautiful place where we can help each other to reach our goals.

What is normal? I do not think anybody can answer that question!

On a personal note I do not think anybody is not normal to a certain extent. We all lead individual lives and make individual decisions, follow our own personal destiny if you will. On this journey everyone will encounter obstacles and hurdles all infinitely different and all of us are constantly searching for eternal happiness and contentment. Granted this comes easier to some than others. Sorry, my point being, I think you are perfectly normal and just facing one of lifes many many obstacles, which I am confident you will stride over preparing to face the next challenge.

Stick to the progarm and keep reading the posts. Lots of positive energy here, the community is awesome!

We are all here for each other and together we can strive forward together.

Wish you peace Brother and I know you will find that spot where you want to be.

New and Fainting :)

Hi Anitra and a very warm welcome

Well Anitra you have found the right place to be I am sure you will benefit form this site its awesome.

I too am fairly new and have found some much needed relief in a relatively short period of time. This I put down to studying the program and reading and posting on the forums. I find an amazing energy here its electric, the community is great and we all help each other.

I think I can sort of relate to your problem. When I suffer a full blown attack its almost like I am rooted to the spot in intense fear then for a few seconds it gets quite dark and I feel really faint. Never passed out though. I also visited the Quacks but he could find nothing physically wrong, just put it down to stress, which some what irritated me.

For me cutting out caffiene, sweet things and a more balanced diet has alleviated some of the physical symptoms. I also added some B-vit complex and inositol supps to my diet recently which I find have really helped with physical and partial mental symptoms.

Not sure I have been much help to you, but I am sure the program, positive energies and support from the community will definitely bring you some comfort and relief.

Wishing you peace and happiness Sister, I know you will get to where you want be, we are all in this together.

Changes/Transitions

Hi Red,

I agree Red, we go through constant changes some little and some big, from changing your toothbrush to moving house, some good and some bad. Life's roller coaster! What an amazing, stressful, exhilarating, scary, disappointing, wonderful, and beautiful ride. Would not do without it really, would we?

Due to a very scary childhood I have suffered depression and anxiety most of my life from about 13 yrs old. In more recent years the depression has lifted but anxiety has become worse

For me Red the last 4 years have seen the most significant and biggest changes of my life thus far. I got married to my lovely Wife 3 yrs ago from which we have been blessed with a beautiful son who has just had his 1st birthday recently. Also took a risk and started my own business which is now in its 3rd year and seen quite a few ups and downs, but some how with God's grace managed to survive the recession. Take a deep breath for me...........................................In 2 weeks time, fingers crossed, our 2nd business will open its doors. I must be completely bonkers! Not sure if I can use that word. Oh well.

As you have probably figured out my stress levels are quite high, so high in fact, that they have passed the summit of Mount Everest and are still climbing. I feel so exhausted. I need a long holiday, then I will be needing a holiday to get over the holiday, Easier said than done, being self employed has its ups and downs and one of the downs is very little time off

As for dealing with the stress, or rather not dealing with it. You could say that I was so busy at times I forgot about my anxiety/stress, big mistake. It caught up with me, hence the full blown panic attacks and fear. But as my old dear says every cloud has its silver lining and my silver lining is finding this site and all of you wonderful people. Coming here has helped me to step outside the box and assess the situation before it spirals out of control.

I know I will probably have some level of anxiety for the rest of my life but for me its how well I manage it. I just take things one day at a time, some days are good and some bad, I have just learned to roll with the punches over the years. The bad times make the good times so special.

Wish you peace Red.

Your friend,

Jas

Hi Red

So chuffed for you that you are in that happy, secure place of contentment. So impossibly hard to find and when its just in reach, it scarpers leaving a trail of dust. But nevertheless always worth looking for and I might just catch it one day.

Sounds like you and the rest who have been here a while had quite a bumpy ride along various paths in life. I am astounded by some of the stories I have read and how you have come through fighting fit. I am so touched and inspired by your stories, it gives me the courage and strength I need to fight my own corner.

Sunny: Thank you, Her name is Ruby a German shepherd. I have had her since she was 6 weeks old, she is nearly 2 now. My darling Ruby has seen me through some tough times. I am not sure what it is but I firmly believe that pets help in alleviating depression/anxiety symptoms.

Davit: What can I say my friend? You are an inspiration to us all! Love reading your posts man.

Cleo: So glad that you are enjoying life and what a life yours is. Full of big changes and sounds like you coped well. Excellent work sister, keep it up.
