Diva, Welcome to the Panic Center! You are not alone. Some of our members where in the exact same boat as you are now. Keep trying to focus on the positive. You were able to control your anxiety for three years without medication. That is great progress! School presents new challenges and experiences. It's new and sometimes change can be scary. Please start working through our CBT program. It will teach you about panic and your panic cycle. It will also, in time, get you started on exposure work. The program is located in your session diary and if you have any questions, just ask. Danielle ________________________ The PC Support Team

I just signed up for this website. I am not to sure how to procede. All i know is that atm i am coping with what i feel is a set-back. I have been dealing with anxiety disorders one of which is panic attacks for a long time (over 15 years) they started real early for me. But i had been doins really well i had successfully gone back to school and was working. Enventually tho i stopped working to concentrate on studies. Had been doing great with no meds for over 3 years! But now i find myself struggling a bit more. I am luck tho i have a great therapist and i managed to get a hold of him andhe takes good care of me. But i feel very sad ans angry about all this. I try to stay positive but i need to say it at least once i am sad and angry to have to deal with this yet again in my life! I am going back on meds and i am trying hard to remind myself that it is a good thing because if i take care of my body i can take better care of my thought, feelings and behaviors. It is just hard for me not to see all this as a personnal failure. Sometimes i am so angry and sad i could choke. But i try to stay positive and remind myself that with courage and perseverance i can relearn to be happy and calm and safe. It says it just in the first session that you can learn this panic thing which means you can unlearn it. I guess it is just hard for me to be flexible and zen-like and patient in waiting for this thing to get back under control. I think i am just not a very patient person but i am working on it. I am working hard on accepting myself as i am. Atm i am being careful to continue to get to school and not avoid things. I think i am doing well. I guess i just needed to bent and admit somewhere at least that i am sad, scared and angry. Mostly i wanted reassurance that this too shall pass and that i can be ok. I have already read session one and intend to start my homework . Thanks so much for making this website. I felt so alone. I am happy i found this place. Thank you.
