Thanks Diva, I really do appreciate it, also to Danielle, thank you. I didn't sleep well last night, but I also didn't get up in the night and come to the computer and start searching physical symptoms. So today, I'm a little tired, this, I'm finding doesn't help, but I know this will pass and I know this will also take time, it's hard...sorry for the whining and tears, honest, I'm trying. One day at a time...let's try it again. I'm not on any meds as of now, only a med that calms heart palpitations, how do I ask for something to help stablize me or do you let your doctor offer? I know I asked a few years ago and she said that "I think you're more overwhelmed than depressed". Not sure on that one or even if that's the right thing? Anyone comment? Thanks again, it really does help.

Danielle, why do I go through these swings, sometimes I feel I have things under control and others, I've gone the other way. Sometimes I feel like I'm "snapping". It's a strong, real effort to do something different to change my patterning, is this normal or should it come naturally? This anxiety I've had for a while (15 years), I would think it will be hard until I get moving, correct? But the one thing I can't seem to get passed is and I know this sounds ridiculous, is that if I worry about this physcial symptom, then maybe it won't happen and it will go away on it's own. I know wharped thinking...please give me time...I told my husband this morning, "I'm going to be ok"... Thanks Danielle

Mary, My pleasure. Abzolutely, your symptoms feel very real. They do to all panic sufferers. Have you tried thought challenging or distractions to help you stop this cycle of thought? Danielle, Bilingual Support Specialist

You know what, it's these physical symptoms that are so real. I was telling my husband about them and explaining that to me, they are real, he says "you don't know what's wrong, I'm jumping the gun on my diagnosis, how do I know it's that". He's right and when I do feel good, I can look back and say,"yes, I can see myself jumping the gun and maybe it's as simple as this", but when I'm in that state, boy, I've got full blown this. It's hard to get out of. If I don't change, I will end up sicker than I think. Thanks Danielle for listening...feels like I'm walking on eggshells
