Anerol, I too have been afraid of therapy, it took me a long, long time to do it, I have been going for 2 months now. It is hard, because can be very emotional, but I feel good about my self for the first in a long time. I have learned that your past has everything to do with anxiety, The more emotional baggage we have ,the more chances of Panic attackes and anxiety invading our lives. I still live with daily anxiety, which causes nausea, tension headaches, muscle aches, and depression, but I am so looking forward to learning how to put it all in the past. I know it took me months to make the first call, I was so afraid of sounding stupid. It was actually pretty easy. Hope this helps. jaybe
wow, I will try that. nothing else seems to work for me. most time I just go with it, but attack lasts way longer than I would like. glad u were able to avoid it jaybe
yes, I went to the movies with my children on Thur. morn and saw Hotel for dogs, it was an older movie, But I hadn't seen it, the kids loved it and so did I, I even cried, at the sad parts, I did pretty well, I almost didn't go because I deal with anxiety feelings all day long, sometimes i have moments I can relax, but not many. well i am glad i went even though I was a little uncomfortable, it wasn't as bad as I thought. By the end of the movie i had relaxed s little. jaybe
Davit, thats the part i struggle with, after a panic attack, I try to think back to what could be the trigger, I can never find anything that caused it, I can't accept that it just appears. Ex: I will be sitting in front of my laptop, feeling pretty good, then i get edgey feelings, anxiety and within a couple of minutes it's full blown panic. I am glad you say "often there is no good reason". I have always felt there has to be something. Thanks , jaybe
I love to play with my kids, when I allow myself to relax, They are at a great age, 4 and having girl /boy twins is like watching a comedy on tv . Here's to a GREAT summer jaybe
I have to make lists of important things to do, but other stuff, I do mental list and I am with you Davit what I feel up to doing gets done, and the rest I leave, some days I get done very little too. jaybe

Hi everyone, I just came back from a well needed vacation at the beach for a week, It was great, no panic and only a small amount of anxiety, felt the best I felt in about 6 months, distractions and keeping busy was great for my constant anxiety, but I found not to be too busy and on the go, because being tired and trying to force myself to go out instead of resting, let anxiety feelings start to creep into my brain again. hope everyone is doing well! peace..... jaybe
summer is my best time of year, I go camping a few times and that is all I need at times to feel better, to be away from everyday stress, I am not looking forward to the return of winter, it seems I have the most problems during that season.depression, lot more anxiety and no motivation.
