Hi? My name is Choloe and I just had 6 anxiety/ panic attacks....I am tired of this anxiety taking over my life. How do I get my life back? I do counseling two days a week.

Within a hour or two

Hello and welcome.

I am so sorry to hear that you are going through this.:(

Do continue to work with your therapist. It takes patience and effort, but will start to help in time.

I echo AG's suggestion about meds...have you considered this as part of your treatment plan? This may be something you want to discuss with your doctor for relief...even if just temporarily.

For now, check out these self-help coping skills. They are very effective if used daily.;)
