How Often Do You Do This ??

Hi James,

I am sorry to hear of your struggles and awful physical symptoms from anxiety.

To answer your question...I feel that the more I know about something, the less scary it is to me. I did a lot of reading and research about anxiety and panic disorder when I first was dealing with it, and it helped tremendously. I still continue to learn, and I feel stronger all of the time.

This site has been an amazing part of my recovery, so I think that being a part of a support community is key.

I am also very open about my issues, and will talk about it if the subject comes up to anyone.

As far as other things that have helped, therapy is essential I believe. It is my opinion, that everyone can benefit from it.

Recovery happens is different ways and in different time tables for each person. The key is trying many different things and finding what works best for you.

Keep searching for what helps you, and keep talking with us. We are here to walk alongside you through this.:)

S.C.
