Hello from Another New Member

Hello All-
I just wanted to introduce myself and I look forward to getting to know each and every one of you. I have been suffering from panic/anxiety for about 10 years. I am currently not taking any medications and have noticed that the medications that they put me on makes me feel like a zombie. I am yet to find something that agrees with me and my system. I have been pretty lucky lately until Saturday night and I had one of the worst ones that I have ever had. I know that you all have been at the point that you thought that you were going to die and that this was th big one. I don't quite understand this disorder or why our bodies decide to play these great tricks on us. Yet we are the ones that are destine to deal with it. I too have noticed like several other women here that the on set of these attacks are generally around the time of my monthly. As they aren't enough to deal with LOL.... Anyway I am glad that I have found somewhere that there are other people that are dealing with the same things that I am. When I am going through these attacks I feel as if I am the only one in the world that deals with these attacks. I am glad that there is someone to confide in and someone that understand and wont look at you or judge you as someone that is crazy...

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.

Hi and welcome to the HW forum. I like you, felt like I was the only one in the world suffering and how nice it's been finding this site and letting off steam and sharing thoughts and feelings as well as advice.

hello and welcome to Healing Well!!! You love our big family.

I myself had the WORST panic attack yesterday going to the casino. I felt I was going to go insane. I started bawling and couldn't drive any farther and had to have my fiance drive. It was too overwhelming.

UGH but I made it.... somehow... must have been an angel or something..

You're not alone!! I've been dealing with panic for years as well. It's frustrating sometimes. Sometimes I feel I'm never going to get better and sometimes I do.

But we dont get that lucky all the time. But maybe by us finding this place. We wont feel like we are alone. "Welcome"!!!!!!!!
