Hi, Everyone. This group is amazing!

phoebe, thank you so much for your encouraging words. They really help. I will look into those books. My parents and I are going on a trip this weekend and would love to have them to read. I am sure that once he realizes that is happening, then the attacks will be easier for him to handle. I just hope that he will take his meds when he gets them. smudga, thank you also. I will continue to remain as positive as I can. It is hard sometimes. I just feel like throwing in the towel at some points but have to remember that he doesn't understand at this point what is happening. I know that he is scared. I called the Dr. to try and get him in again but they had not received his records and will not make the appointment. In a nice way, I explained to the receptionist that this is not something to delay and that he needs to be seen as soon as possible. She told me to call back on Friday. Yeah, I can see she understands - NOT! Mrs B

Hi Mrs B, yeah the start will be very hard for your husband, and u of course. The more knowledge you gain about panic disorder though the better equiped you will be to handle things. If he takes meds he needs to realise that everyone is different in how they react to the different medications out there. It will be trial and error until he finds the most suitable for him. Try your best to be encouraging and postive for him. Remind him panic attacks are distressing not dangerous. Remind him people get better - nothing lasts forever. I was really bad for the first 6 months but have improved since. There are positives to come out of having panic disorder. You will gain confidence to deal with other things in life, becaues if you can deal with panic attacks you can deal with anything. He will also learn relaxation techniques which he will be able to use in other stressful life situations. His recovery will be like a rollercoaster. He will have his up periods then have his down periods. He shouldn't get too down if he starts feeling bad after going through a good phase. It's part of the recovery. "2 steps back 1 step forward" Bye

Hi Mrs. B. I think it is great that you are so understanding of your husband's condition. It is very difficult for those who do not experience panic attacks to understand them and he will need all the support he can get. Don't worry, his frustration at you will subside when he becomes more educated about panic attacks. So hang in there. I would suggest that both of you read some books on anxiety. It will help your husband understand what is happening to him, and will also help you, help him during this difficult time. Two books I highly recommend are Hope and Help for your Nerves and Peace from Nervous Suffering, both by Clair Weekes. (Boy, this woman was so ahead of her time). These books not only describe the symptoms of panic, but also teach you coping mechanisms. Medication is also an option that your husband may want to discuss with his doctor (When having panic attacks, no one needs to feel like a hero because they don't take meds). Anti-anxiety meds or anti-depressants may help him through in the beginning until he learns how to control his symptoms. Panic attacks are a very scary thing, but remember, they cannot hurt you, even if your mind tells you different. Best of luck to both of you.

I have been reading the board for a couple of days now and I have learned so much. I also hope there is room here for me. I am not the one having the panic attacks, my husband is. He had is first attack on July 30th of this year. He felt "weird". We went to the hospital because he felt like he was dying. When the Dr. told him that he was having a panic attack, the first thing out of his mouth was, "I don't believe in panic attacks." Well, he believes in them now. In just 2 weeks, our lives have changed so much. He has attacks frequently and they last for hours. They physically and mentally exhaust him. It is hard for me to see him that way. My problem is that I don't know what to do. I don't know what to say. Right now, anything I do causes him stress. I am trying to be as patient as possible and do what he needs me to do but I feel like I am just getting in the way. I feel like I am constantly apologizing for things that are no big deal. He is not tolerating anything and I do make mistakes and he makes sure that I know that. I just feel like I am the his outlet for frustration and I have to take it. I love my husband so much. He and our son are the highlight of my life and I will do anything to help him through this. He is waiting to get into a Dr. Can anyone give me some suggestions on what I can do for him and where I can get some support? Both of our families do not understand the situation and they are of no help. They only add to the stress. I want to be a help to my husband, not a stress. I know that as soon as he gets help, things will be better but I can tell that this is not going to be easy. Thanks for listening, Mrs B
