Thankyou, that helps a little, I'm just in that state where the chemicals in my brain are all fluctuated and I'm very hypertensive to every thought that passes through, but I know its just the emotion and it just has to get back to normal on its own. That it is out of my control and the best thing I can do is keep on living as best I can and it will return to normal. It always has, and this time shouldnt be any different.

faith, There are different types of therapy out there. Some therapies involve talking about the past in an attempt to understand the problem and develop some strategies for coping, etc. The Panic Program is not talk therapy. Its not about medications either. Its a treatment program thats all about getting you actively involved in your own improvement. How great is that? It teaches you things you may not understand about panic and agoraphobia, your own panic, your own panic cycle, and as you learn and get involved, you begin the journey and the process of taking back control from a fear that at the moment is controlling you. Doesn't that idea of getting back control sound wonderful? So its not about talking. Its about doing. And in doing, its about recovery. But maybe this idea of doing scares you and you avoid it for that reason. Ive had emails from people who say this too. Well its not about someone telling you to smarten up or just get with it at all. Its a guide, a silent teacher, and a whole program. Its like going to a school that offers a course in your very own fears and how to beat your very own fears down. How would you feel on graduation day if you could do just that? It works this way: The Program guides you through the process of getting back this control. It prepares you for this, one single step at a time, and gives you some homework to bring you along from session 1 to session 2, and onward, in a series of 12 sessions over a period of twelve weeks. Hope this helps, Josie ______________________________ The Panic Center Support Team.

Hi everyone. I havent been on here in a long while, but I'm having another one of those episodes and its really bad. Even though I'm really knowledgable of the symptoms and such, (havent really gone through the program, but am familiar with it) I worry that I just cant cope. See, I wish I could get anxious about normal things, but my anxiety is always based on the most irrational and out of control stuff, like my breathing, blinking, just the thought of making my head explode over God knows what, even God and the concept of not understanding what happens after death scares me, its these thoughts that cycle around me most of the time and I get so scared b/c its not what it seems most people are anxious about and as a result couldnt be treated as well. I worry that if I take the whole program that eventually it wont work for me and I'll go back to feeling worse again. The funny thing is I'm able to force myself out of bed to goto work and then drive to school, yet these thoughts are out of control, plaguing me day and night. Maybe I'm just on edge right now and my anxiety levels need to go back down, so I can feel hungry and have a sex drive again. Its happened before, but everytime it happens I feel like its not going to go away. I'm just really scared and I hope I'm not alone with these particular thoughts. Its like my mind has a mind of its own (as silly as that sounds) I don't like feeling this way, all sick and freaky, but I can't seem to get a grip and accept that my body takes care of itself, it breathes and blinks and keeps me balance without me having to focus on it, and that there is a God and he loves me and wont let me fall and that I dont need to worry about what is out of my control.
