Is it possible to fully recover from Panic Disorder?

darkblue,

It sounds like you do a lot of great work. Having a hand in changing policies regarding mental health is a great accomplishment. Good for you! I'm sure you are helping so many children, which should be an amazing feeling.

As for whether or not you will ever feel 'back to normal', perhaps the other members could share their success stories. It is important to note that sharing your success, small or large can assist others in their daily tasks.

How did you do today? Do you have a situation that you conquered? How are you doing with the program?

bothered by a little setback

Mya,

In terms of your anxious thoughts, below are ten questions you may find helpful in challenging your anxious thoughts:

The following ten questions will help you to challenge any anxious thoughts. When you have an anxious thought, answer some of these 10 questions:

1. Is it "true"?
2. How do I know it’s true?
3. Is it 100% true? (remember something that is 75% or 99% true is
not 100% true)
4. What's the evidence for it being true?
5. What’s the evidence against it being true?
6. Has it ever happened before?
7. What's different now?
8. If it were true, how bad would it really be?
9. What's the worst thing that could happen?
10. If the worst thing happened, how bad would it really be?

Members, please feel free to add any tips or strategies you find helpful when trying to challenge your anxious thoughts.

As for your medication, perhaps dazedmommy can offer some words of wisdom, and you should continue to consult with your doctor. You can and will get through this!

Is it possible to fully recover from Panic Disorder?

darkblue,

You should be extremely proud of yourself for setting up a wireless network! Thats tough stuff, technology can be so frustrating (but so wonderful of course all at the same time!).

Good for you for focusing on the good, and what a great accomplishment! Now you can write and read posts in bed!

I'm glad to hear you are having a good day, I hope that feeling carries on over the weekend!

out for the day!!

Minnesota,

Way to go! You should feel so so proud of yourself. Now you know that you can do anything you put your mind to.

What a great accomplishment, you were able to take a long car ride with your husband, and you were able to see your mother in law and have a wonderful day together and you got to go shopping! Excellent!

I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend, you deserve all the best!

Keep up the great work and that positive and optimistic attitude,

Headaches and irrational thoughts

darkblue,

Have you been having these headaches for some time now? If so, I would suggest making an appointment to see your family doctor. It could be a number of things, like the other members said it might just be a tension headache.

I am also very sorry to hear about your friend.

Let us know how everything goes,

Did you know?

Members,

Individuals with Panic Disorder;

° are more prone to alcohol and other drug abuse

° have greater risk of attempting suicide

° spend more time in hospital emergency rooms

° spend less time on hobbies, sports and other satisfying activities

° tend to be financially dependent on others

° report feeling emotionally and physically less healthy than non-sufferers.

° are afraid of driving more than a few miles away from home

Panic disorders can also have economic effects. For example, a recent study cited the case of a woman who gave up a $40,000 a year job that required travel for one close to home that only paid $14,000 a year. Other sufferers have reported losing their jobs and having to rely on public assistance or family members.

Therapist

Miki,

Good for you. You know yourself best, so I am sure that you made the right decision.

Are you looking for a new therapist right away? Have you looked into the universities?

Transitioning back to work, Part II

Members,

For many, returning to work is a scary undertaking. We are here to help! Below you’ll find more great tips to help you transition back to work:

° Keep taking care of yourself by getting adequate rest, pleasure, nutrition and keeping up with your treatment program.

° Learn your limits. Begin establishing boundaries for yourself. If you feel overwhelmed or have too many projects on your plate, speak up! Remember, it’s not about the quantity of work completed but the quality of work completed.

° Leave the past in the past and don’t worry about the future. All you can focus on is today! What great work can you complete or contribute to today.

° Give yourself credit for the work you are doing or the small steps your making towards going back to work!

° Know your Employee Assistance Program. Some plans offer reimbursement for massages, cover counseling, free/discounted gym membership or other alternative therapies.

Members, we now encourage you to ask questions or share experiences!
