Hello and welcome to Healing Well and the A & P Forum.  I am Kitt and you have found a group of wonderful and caring people that know where you are coming from and what you are going through.

We all identify with how you feel about this disorder and have tried to find the answer to 'Why Me?"  Have you ever tried therapy? CBT is a very good therapy.

Cognitive therapy or (CBT) cognitive behavior therapy is a kind of psychotherapy used to treat depression, anxiety disorders, phobias, and other forms of mental disorder. It involves recognizing distorted thinking and learning to replace it with more realistic substitute ideas.

I am sure you will be hearing from our members with good advice and support for you.

Keep posting.

Hello there, and welcome to healingwell. I want to tell you, the feeling of dying, that is normal. You have to try to get past that, and know that panic attacks cannot and will not kill you. I know it is easier said than done. As the above post says...have you tried CBT? And may I ask, what meds are you currently taking? Maybe you need something different, or something stronger. Also, are you seeing a pdoc for this, or just your family doc? I too, fear medications. A lot of people with anxiety do. But, you can't be scared of them. You have to realize, they are going to help you. Let me tell you this...I went through childbirth naturally, just to avoid any drugs in my system...I wouldn't even take a motrin after, because I HATED pills that much. Once my anxiety and panic attacks got so bad, I now welcome medication, because it does help me. Maybe once you find the right medication that works for you, you will feel more comfortable. Please, keep us posted...and, indeed, stick with us. Healingwell is a great place to get information!!!
