Introducing myself to the group

Susanne Thank you for the encouraging message. Since the setback I had, I am battling so with all sorts of destructive thoughts - I am scared that I will never a lead a normal life again, scared that I'll be seen as a failure, feel guilty because my husband supports me so much and I rely so much on him. Everyone who has posted a message on this site, makes such a difference in the lives of panic sufferers. Thank you all Bianca

Good Morning Jenny :) Welcome to our support group. I would recommend you to try our Panic Program. This program has been created to help individuals learn how to face their fear by challenging their anxious thoughts and doing gradual step by step exposure work. If you look to the left of this screen under "TOOLS" you will see The Panic Program. We also have many other tests, so please feel free to roam the site at your own pace and get back to us if you have any questions or concerns. Take care, Melanie

Good Morning, I already wrote once, but thought since I am new, I would introduce myself. I got onto this site today because I was home, feeling very panicky. It has helped somewhat to be able to read what other's are going through, and their experiences. I can relate-ALOT!! I have had panick attacks now for 7 years off and on.. Recently-I went off of Klaunipin, and for 3 months now have been trying to live without it-even inspite of the intense fear!! It is hard. I experience panick by feeling a tightness in jaws, chest, find it hard to breathe, feel like I am going to die, and am obsessed with dying. I think everyday that something is definatley wrong with me. My mom died of Cancer 11 years ago so I always think it's going to happen to me. It is very scary. I have been to the Dr.'s and had lots of test, it works to make me feel better for a short time, but then I am back on the panick/worry wagon all over again, except with something new!! Anyway, I said alot. Thanks for listening. Jenny

Hi Bianca, It sounds as though the self help techniques are working for you right now. Keep up the great work!! If you can't maintain, then it is important to let your family doctor know and then go from there. Keep posting your thoughts/concerns, we are all here for you. Take care, Susanne

Hi Everyone! I'm Bianca and I've been suffering from panic attacks while driving on the highway for just over a year now. I recently had a major setback and am scared to get back on the highway. I'm not taking any medication, nor am I getting therapy. I am, however, reading numerous self-help books, watching my diet, exercising, doing breathing exercises and trying very hard to work on the positive affirmations. I've just registered on this site and what I have read makes me feel so much better. It gives a message of hope and support.
