Kate,
Welcome to The Panic Center. We thank you for sharing your story with us today. This support group is full of supportive individuals who may be able to help you answer some questions regarding panic and anxiety. It is great to hear that you are working a doctor. In the meantime please feel free to roam the site at your own pace.
If you look to the left of the screen under "TOOLS" you will find many supportive tests. These tests are not diagnostic tools and are not a replacement or substitute for a physicians advice.
The purpose of these tests is to prepare you with information that you can present to your physician. When you're finished the test, you can either print your Final Report or email it directly to your doctor.
We also have developed a Panic Program. This program is 12-weeks and involves the tools mentioned above. Each session is based on the previous session, so we strongly advise that you work slowly through the program and not jump ahead.
If you have any questions or concerns with our "TOOLS" you can contact our support department at support@paniccenter.net.
Take care and we hope to hear from you soon.
Josie

Hi I am new to this site as of this evening. I have had panic effecting my life for almost 10 years. The last 5 the worst. I too have an amazing doctor who has helped me a lot. I feel though that since I have seen her for so long (4 years off and on) that perhaps she knows too much about me to be objective. Does this make sense? I guess I feel that she may not be quite getting what I am trying to say as much as she used to. I believe I need more help challenging my boundaries. I am missing so much time with my niece and nephew because of this. I spend 1 to 1 and 1/2 years feeling on top of the world and then it all comes back only worse. I guess now I am looking to understand more about why and less about how. I still see my doctor every 2 weeks but have very few people in my life that are able to understand. Most people think it is just something I can will away or don't understand how the symptoms make you feel like you are not going to make it. Anyway, I wanted to introduce myself and am hoping to achieve a greater understanding here. I think we can all become a little too dependant on people in our lives for our success. I think that's why my panic ebbs and flows so much. I develop such trust with someone and then due to work or other obligations we drift apart and I feel my support network is gone. So now I have decided my best chance of coping is learning to rely on myself and knowing that I am okay with who I am even if others aren't. I tell myself everyday that my panic attacks are not permenant situation, and hope that the day will come when my life will be more full but I wish I believed it as much!
