I am glad to hear you are feeling a bit better. Your positive and optimistic attitude will take you far in overcoming your panic. Its nice to have you on board and I look forward to hearing more from you.
Hi, Thank you so much for your kind words and support. Just the fact that you have listened and replied has made me feel a bit better and more optimistic.
Well I have started the program, completed chapter 1&2 and flicked through a few of the others. It is quite amazing how quickly I started to change my thinking after just the first couple of chapters. Panic attacks are still there but now I can see light at the end of the tunnel instead of a dead end. I do really, really hope this works and the fact that I have all of you kind people for support fills me with hope.
I have made a promise to myself to see this program through and to login to the site daily. May I add this is by far the best website for panic attacks I have come accross. Believe me I have visited quite a few!
I hope all of you are coping well and getting better each and everyday, thank you so much for your support may peace be with you all, God Bless.
You will beat this! This program is amazing...never worry about "ranting"...this is the place to feel free to let it all out. We are all here for eachother, all of us in various stages of recovery. Ask any questions, post as much as you want to.
Have you started Chapter 1 yet? When you get to the section on challenging your negative thoughts you will see how panic can be won over!
Hi Peace4all: not ranting - welcome to the site. Post as often as you want, there's always someone "listenting" and will respond. Keep up the good work.
You have come to the right place and after you start reading and working the program you will start to feel better I am sure of it. You have taken the first big step and started the program. Which is a very positive thought. You have already replaced a negative thought with a positive thought. Hang in there it really does get better.
I just began the program six days ago with similar feelings. I found this is the place to be! The first session really helped reduce my anxiety by understanding more about it. The Panic Cycle, in particular really made me feel more in control, because I can identify my triggers instead of being at the mercy of a panic attack. Reading other people's blogs and forums helps with giving ideas of what other people do (and this program) does to get through a panic attack. Also, after you complete the first session, the other sessions will open up on your toolbox and if you need to look ahead at a topic, you can. For me, I looked up Box Breathing and Challenge Negative Thoughts with 10 Questions which gave me some coping skills of what to do when I feel one coming on. Even with the first sessions homework, I can see a pattern of anxiety regarding when and what can set me off. Another positive is all of the supportive people who are in this group. You are not alone and I know this will help you as it is helping me and others as well.
Hello all : ) Just found this site while browsing again, in desperation for help. I am a male in his early thirties and have have suffered anxiety on and off for most of my late teen and adult life. It started with situations at home during that time. I went through therapy at the time and it seemed to resolve my issues and up until recently this has never been a problem and I have always managed to control it.
But over the last couple of years things have deteriorated drastically and left me a wreck. My anxiety has turned into a panic disorder and it feels like I have lost control. Each day I feel scared and anxious, without any real reason, well apart from the ones in my head! This has left me feeling so alone and isolated, I feel there is no escape and I will probably lose the plot.
I have a Wife and a young child, 1yr old, whom I want to continue to protect and provide for. What can I do for them if I feel this inadequate and scared. I am sure my wife does not know the extent of my anxiety. I feel so ashamed to tell her the truth.
I just hope and pray I can feel like my old confident self again one day. But I think I have let my anxiety get to stage there is no return from. It is horrible and terrifying. The negative thoughts are paralysing.
But on a positive note I am going to give the program a go, because I have good feeling about this site after reading some of the posts.
