Good idea Dave, I have one down in my gym too, but I am waiting for results from my stress test (which are normal I bet) but oh well, lets see what happens! Sam S

I actually picked up an Eliptical machine when I was quitting smoking. It helped with my panic and anxiety attacks. When I wasn't thinking I was going to have a heart attack, I would go on my eliptical trainer, I did it every other day for about a half hour and kept telling myself... 'If I didn't have one on the eliptical trainer, I'm not going to have one during a panic attack'. I think it helped. Dave

i work out at lunch at the new york sports club...i believe you work in the wall street area - there are several gyms there and you could make it part of your lunch hour routine and get back to work refreshed and not have to get up early in the am or face it in the evenings. i run long distance on weekends and it all really helps although still have panic but prob would be worse without excercise.

Tony, It takes a little time for your body to get used to a workout routine. You have the right idea about relaxing when you get home. A hot shower, warm drink, or even a good book, will help you wind down. Give it some time. Exercise is essential and will help you mentally and physically. Also try stretching before and after your exercise. Hang in there and give us progress reports, it will get better! Josie

Speaking of exercise and sleep... I have been avoiding working out because it takes me along time to fall asleep at night afterwards. I can't work out in the morning because I already have to get up at 530am in order to be to work by 730am. I don't get home until after 6. Last night I decided to give it another shot. I got myself on the treadmill and stayed on for roughly 35 minutes. I probably finished a little after 9pm. I felt goo, relaxed, etc. I took a shower and just let myself wind down. I was ready for sleep at like 11:30pm. I started falling asleep and then woke up with a start. It's like my body wasn't ready for sleep or something. And then, of course, I was in panic mode. "What the hell is wrong with me? Why can't I fall asleep. Why, when I am so tired, am I waking up every time I nod off"? And this stinks because it keeps me from working out. I mean, I'd rather be in bad shape than not be able to sleep. I don't get it. Anyone have any suggestions? Can anyone relate? Thanks! -Tony

Lauralai, I agree with everyone else. I walk 40 minutes every evening and lift weights at home as well. It definitely helps with the anxiety. The effect doesn't last forever but it lasts for quite awhile after I walk. And, even though I have been trouble actually falling asleep, I do notice that at least I am relaxed while lying in bed usually. Give it a try! Rachele

LOL, I had to laugh about the poor dog...thats exactly what I do. I think my neighbours have a great time speculating as to why I walk round and round the block. Just as much fun as they do when my boyfriend and I pack up the car for a trip only to return and unpack half and hour later!! You have to see the funny side.. Apart from my block walking I do weights at home and some dancing. It helps with the physical, mental, emotional or spiritual fatigue we can sometime fall prey to with our anxiety. I tend to self medicate by sleeping when I'm having a hard day and do tend to oversleep quite a bit. But, the exercise always makes me feel better! If it helps just a small bit then I'm all for it!

Working out has been a part of my life since 1980. I could feel awful and depressed, anxious or to the point where I do not want to do anything. I simply go to my gym and workout. It's the best thing you can do for yourself. Aerobic exercise is great. I do cardio about 4 times a week. You can aso self hypnotize yourself while on a machine. All it takes is closing your eyes for 1 minute, If you can allow yourself to do than then jus think of what else you can allow your mind the confidence to be able to accomplish. No, I have not made myself perfect and free of anxiety from working out, but I'd say feeling like a million bucks when leaving or while at the gym is well woth it. I've been into bodybuilding for a long time now. I just might be in the best shape right now since hgh school. Hope this inspires someone. David
