Panic disorder

Hi

First of all welcome to the forum I am glad you have found us you will get good support here from the members.

Sorry to hear you have been having panic attacks I know how difficult they are to deal with especially if you are getting them every day. It sounds to me like you are experiencing health anxiety which a lot of us here suffer with myself included so don't feel alone.

The good news is lots can be done to help with anxiety such as taking medication (Not for everyone) or doing some talking therapy such as CBT which works wonders. The person to contact will be your doctor who will be able to make an action plan for you.

In the meantime have a look at our resources thread which you will find on the main page first post for some useful links to self help guides.

Stay with us and keep posting we are here to support you.

Hi Hunter and welcome!

I agree with Hibee about talking with your doctor regarding possible treatment for your panic attacks...there is hope and help, and you need not suffer these!

For now, I am going to post some links from the Resources that should help you very much. Practice the ones you think look the best for you everyday. They will lower overall stress levels, and physical symptoms.:)
