I also have lots of books that I read all the time. When I feel myself having panic I grab a book and read to myself out loud it helps me. I start going to a support group next week I think talking to people like me will help. Thanks Red it is always good to have someone to talk to.

Hi, April, I'm so glad you posted at this site. I is reassuring for you to know that we are not alone. There are millions of us out there..all scared and alone. I think it would be goos for you to take control of your disorder by learning all you can about it. Also the medications that rae available, what they are for and how they work. medication is not the only course of action for this disorder.. There are bookstores with shelves upon shelves of books na sworkbooks, that can help people with apnc and anxiety. You can also search the Internet, for these subjects and read what comes up. I do it al the time, and each search produces yet more results. The medical profession is learning more and more evry day. I have had this disorder in many of its forms since I was a child, many years ago. I am not new to this. I have worked on myself al these years and have to admit that it has helped me greatly. I believe that we must learn and gain strength for ourselves, so that we are not vulnerable to some who would take advantage of us. I think that it has gotten much better for me, since Itook charge of my course of action. My docto agrees. I have been seeing a psychologist for PTSD, for the last 7 years, and have made graet progress. With his guidance, and my will to better myself, graet things have been happeneu\ing in my life. I only hope that you will do the same for yourself. Red

Hi my name is april and im new here to. I have real bad panic attacks. I just always feel so alone cause I have no family,and my friends really dont understand. So it's very hard tp handle. Ive had my panic for a very long time. It started in 96 when i got married. They put me on all kinds of meds. My husband was really mean to me. Well anyways I left him and the panic slowed down then there was not any. I thought I was over all of it till this year. Ive had alot go on in Jan.and Feb. I went under plastic surgery and after that it all started over,but this time was alot worse than before. I thought I was going crazy. I went to the doc. and for something fast he put me on ativan which I only take when I feel one coming on. I do not like to take meds they scare me. So today I start my first pill of paxil and im very scared. I think Im scared because what if it does not work. I do not want to live my life like this any more.
