Bad Anxiety Today

Tanya, I want to let you know that I am saving your post to Debora because it is inspiring to me as well.  It is just the sort of thing that I would like to recal when I am having a difficult time.
Debora, I continue to wish you well and thank you for being so honest and open with your feelings.  I can always relate and the advice that is provided to you is so helpful.  I wish you a beautiful day!

First Post and very scared

Bill, I wanted to share a few things.  First of all, you are not alone.  This is a wonderful community of support for you.  Many here have had very similar experiences to yours.  I have found the program to be so helpful. The "homework" has helped me on numerous occasions to avoid attacks. 
I still am not my old self (and that makes me anxious sometimes) but I know that I will be back - and even better than before - because I have learned how to relax! Keep us posted - you will do great if you follow the program on this site.  I am sorry for your hardships - being scared is awful - being happy again is the best!  I know you can do it!

Feelings Creeping Back

Hi Debora -
I can't always post responses (I often read the forums using a mobile device that doensn't appear to be compatible with this site) but I wanted to know that I kept up with your progress over a tough weekend.  So wonderful to know that your husband is noticing positive changes and giving you great feedback on the results of your efforts. 
Good advice that I don't always follow but works wonders for me is to focus on the present and on the moment that I am experiencing.  The breathing exercises help to remind me - I focus on the actual breath that I am taking - not on what I have to do today or next week or next month - and this is a gift to me.  I am always grateful for your posts and I wish you continued progress and success!

Some times life just happens.

I love this post - V for victory indeed - this is great, Davit (well not the part about injuring yourself, of course - but everything else!_

Negative=Positive

Way to go, Anerol.  I had similar results with my exposure training on Saturday and I am encouraged by your focus on the positive results of your efforts!

Some times life just happens.

I have to add that your attitude towards those past events is really helpful to me.  Almost exactly a year ago, I turned down a job offer that would have given me a 25% raise.  My gut told me it was the wrong thing to do (Later I found out I had a stomach virus!).  Anyway, every once in a while, I have a tinge of regret over that situation.  However, I just love what you've said regarding things you wished you had done differently - that these things exist in the past for comparison and to learn from - I love that.

Turning my life around!

What a good idea - Can I second that?  I feel the same way.  Feeling so much better every day and this is a result of following the program and having the support of everyone here.  Thank you!

Why me?

I suffered a bit of a traumatic experience at the beginning of the summer that resulted in an emergency room visit (I was dehydrated, following an illness).  My life was also out-of-balance at the time as our 11-year-old daughter had bravely embarked on a 7-week summer camp adventure.  This was when I began having panic attacks for the first time.  They went away without treatment after a month but they returned about a month ago.  I saw a therapist and together we determined that I was afraid of becoming dehydrated again.  This is what I am currently working to resolve.
