Hello, it's been a while since I posted. I was doing OK, very Ok with my anxiety. I almost got rid of my panic attacks. Today, I experienced new fear. I'm so frustrated! Why is my anxiety still...
Sending my love to Mary and her family. 4years ago my mom was dying of a lung cancer and I was crying on this forum. Mary was the one who helped go through that difficult time. I feel sad... I also...
First I have a question for wearyRAsufferer - you said that you had fear of death before but no more. What changed your mind and how you found peace? Don't worry about the words, write what you feel...
Thank you very much! I got into tears reading your warm responses! I think people with anxiety disorders are the best people ever (honestly, I find them to be more softer and kinder than other...
Sorry I missed couple of responses here. Thank you for good words. Yes, I don't afraid of death it self, but I'm freaking out of not being here anymore. Like never, never, never, never, forever... I...
Thank you very much, going to look for that book :-)...
I haven't posted much since my mom died. When she was dying this is the only place I could find help, I thought I would not handle it alone and I'm grateful for this support. After my mom passed away...
I think nothing happens. Die, that's it. I'm getting anxiety even typing these words. /you go to sleep and you never get up. I afraid of non-existence. I don't care if my particles will live in star...
Hi, I have a history of anxiety disorder and panic attacks. At the moment I do handle them well. The only thing makes me scream in my heart is the thought of death. I literally want to scream and run...
Thank you. Somehow everybody tells me the same (including my primary doctor) - breathing, relaxation, meditation, exercise. I'm tired, that's the problem. In regular life I don't do anything. No...
Thank you very much for all replies! I live in NYC for 9 years and I didn't meet anybody with panic attacks, also I'm sure that there are support groups out there, but I do not earn that much. I...
Hello, I'm 36 old female who almost recovered from her panic attacks (with a help of books). I still have anxiety disorder, but from my 3-4 panic attacks per day and I went to almost none or one per...
Absolutely yes. When I watched "Saving private Ryan" about 9 years ago I couldn't eat for 3 days... I can't even look at the name of this movie till now.. I have anxiety and panic disorder and can't...
Yes, I actually started to use some CD. Thank you very much for suggestion! There are a lot of diff. CD out there, but never knew which one is good. Definitely will buy! Strange that I went to doctor...
Hi, Marj... I had before what you have now. I started reading a lot of books about anxiety and it helped me a bit, so I'm not freaking out from crowded places. But I feel uncomfortable eating in the...
Thank you....
sCaReD_23, I've read about Chronic Hyperventilation syndrome... omg, it is all about me! :-) I was walking all day today and decided not to pay attention to my breathing at all, and I was just fine!...
No, no , no!!! Don't turn your fear into phobia, it will be harder to treat later! Just get over it, you will be fine. The more you ignore, more phobic you going to get. Come to airport few hours...
Maybe... but I'm not feeling hyperventilated. It is also scares me that I actually can hear my lungs in the morning when I take deep breath. When I'm laying down for an hour or more and then taking...
Thank you very much for all responses.... Unfortunately I have bad experience with doctors. I was misdiagnosed with my hip displasia at birth and had to have 4 operations later due to this mistake....
Hmmm... you have a lot going on. What I want to say, when I was 20-22 year old I would get panic attacks very bad, my body would shake like crazy, my tongue would go numb and I usually was putting a...
I'm reading your topic like my own... My mom was diagnosed at stage IV cancer a year ago. She still alive, but not doing well. She is on untreatable stage, they just doing chemo for her not to get...
Maybe this site will help me... I'm tired to see the doctors and get no answers. Little about me: 35yo female, I have anxiety disorder for at least 15 years ,anxiety attacks, time to time getting...
Hello, my name is Ellen. I'm a big freak about flying and I have to fly overseas to see my parents and also I love traveling :-) I use Xanax all the time and I definitely recommend to take a pill...
Thank you. I took app. with shrink and found out my co-payment will be $40 - kinda a lot for my salary :-) Will try to use my books. And thanks for suggestion, will try to change my doctor and...
Wow, I wrote a lot. Message to moderators: you can delete or edit my post - I know it is really big. sorry, somehow started typing and typing.....
Ok, my turn :-) I'm 32 yo female, tall, slim and blonde. I'm from Lithuania, living in New York now. Have russian/polish/lithuanian mixture. Born with defect - hips were not in proper position, spent...
Thank you. I have Xanax for my attacks, but I want to prevent them not taking pills while having them. I don't know what's happening to me. I thought I recovered. 5 years nothing. And I've read books...
Hi, I was recovered from panick attacks ... well, almost recovered as I see it now. Somehow, after 5 years they came back to me, at night! They are really freaking me out, I started to delay my...
Hi, totally understand you! Had the same thing and lost from my healthy 130 to 115 pounds.. When I started to see my self transparant already I found "insure plus" from Duane Reade chain store. It is...
I see that you couldn't get prescription for Xanax... See, there is a trick. If you complain to doctor that you can't sleep ONLY, he will give you sleeping pills. Tell him that you having panic...
Hi, I used to have horrible panic attacks and anxiety and now they gone. I'm against all medications and taking them when I really needed, that's why I asked doctor to give me something what I can...
Thank you. I really need some positive thinking and when next time I will fly (in 2 month I will have 10.5 hours non-stop trip New York-Helsinki and then another 2 hours to my home land) I will try...
Wow, that's cool! But I think small planes easier to handle, they can flow with a wind and land even with engine off, right? Big planes are different.. specially when they show crashes on TV, time to...
Thank you all for reply. Reply for Debaser - I bought a CD "Overcome The Fear of Flying" by Glenn Harrold - have read reviews on Amazon.com - should be good. Listening for 3 days, still no effect,...
Ha, then you need help too :-)) I know one thing, you cant avoid things you afraid of because you will be more afraid of them. When I moved to NY I was afraid to stay close to subway train, I...
Thank you, will look for Lyn /community/emoticons/smile.gif ...
Thank you for reply, I didn't see any specialist yet - no time, spending all day at work and comute to work, and another reason - I don't have good insurance to cover. Also, for me it is little bit...
I'm terrified of heights and flying planes. Last time I almost quit my boarding, took 4 tablets 0.25 of Xanax and still was trembling.. 10 years ago I didn't have fears like this, I get rid of my...
