Thanks so much to all of you who responded and offered your advice. It helps so much to hear what works for others and to know that I'm not alone. I am working very hard on challenging these negative thoughts, and I think I may have overcome one yesterday. In a situation where I always panic, I focused really hard and controlled it somewhat. My heart was still beating a little fast, but it wasn't like it normally is. Thanks alot to all of you for your advice.

Hi Kristyn- I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone. Many of us have gone through these viscious thoughts, and many of us still are. You really need to challenge those thoughts, and keep at it. Also, like others have mentioned, deep breathing works as a miracle a lot of the time as well. Good luck and stay strong! Keep us posted...

Angel, You are not alone. Keep working through the program and continue your efforts to control those anxious thoughts by challenging them. If you're waking up with sudden breathing problems, please consult your doctor. He/she is the best authority to devise whether or not it is related to your nocturnal panic or other conditions.

Hi Kirstyn, I feel your pain too. I think I am the queen of thinking something is wrong with me lol. Seriously, this is my number one problem right now, worrying and worrying and worryingggg about disease, and cancer, or some kind of sicknes that i 'may' have. If i feel something odd in my body, even a slight change, I start with the thoughts. Now i keep thinking i have lung disease, heart disease, some sort of probelm that is making my breathing a challenge each and every day. It really drains me out. I swear, my mind makes me TIRED. I literally worry from the time I wake up till the time i sleep. Actually, i even worry in my sleep.....i wake up with sudden breathing problems for some reason. Or i dream of uncomfortable things at night. I dont know how to train my mind to stop worrying about this. Its hard to be aware of all the thoughts that run through my mind. Its hard for me to control it and be confident that everythign is alright. so just wanted to let you know that I am going through the exact same thing as you! And i'm here for you if you ever want to vent! Maybe we can meet on cbt buddies. Let me know if you use it! Bye for now ;)

Kristyn, Welcome to the Panic Center! As you can see you are not alone in the fears you experience. Please start working through our CBT program. It can be found in your session diary. It is a great resource that will teach you what you need to know about panic disorder and your panic cycle. With regards to your baptism, you should not that the chances of you fainting are very unlikely. When you experience panic, a mechanism in your body called the fight or flight response is engaged. This gears up your body for action whereas fainting is a mechanism that makes your body shut down. You can't shut down and gear up at the same time. Start visualizing yourself at the baptism and getting through it. Use deep breathing and positive self-talk to help you bring your anxiety levels down. Lesley, There is not much you can do except be supportive of any effort he makes and being understanding of his limitations. Panic sufferers are really controlled by their anxiety. Take a read through our workbook, it will teach you about panic disorder. Also be sure to let your significant know we'd be happy to have him. Hope this helps.

kristin, I am living with a person with GAD and find it really difficult. He is even scared to take antidepressant medication and to talk to a therapist. He is constantly thinking that he is dying and I don't know what do anymore. I feel your pain.

Hiya Krystin, I can certainely sympathise with you . I think all of us at this site can. We all experience things that are similar as a whole or in part to what you are experiencing. So this is a great place to vent and get advice from people who will understand , support and cheer you on :) I am sorry to hear that your anxiety levels and panic levels are so high lately. I know those periods can be rough. And i totally understand that being afraid something is physically wrong with you part, i have been struggling with this too. I can say tho that it has gotten better. When i relapsed in december, i was a mess, i was anxious 99% of the time had multiple panic attacks it was just a pain in the you know what. I used to check mypulse at the neck 300 times a day if not more. I went back to my therapist, and i have been doing this program for two weeks. I can honestly say things are better. I worry less about being sick and i am slowly getting the heart rate checking thing under control. The support group helps a lot they give great tips, encouragement and support. For me what works atm is like Samanthat said. Making sure i am breathing correctly to calm my body so i can calm my mind. Also, being aware of my thoughts, the ones that make me anxious and trying to challenge them. Also, challenging myself to do little things that make me anxious ( and i say little as in makes me a little anxious) so that when i succeed i get more confident in myself. Plus, i take time to notice every little success in my day and i do positive self-talk about all of them. Anyway, that is what seems to have been helping. Also what has been helping is finding people (my therapist and this support group) who really understand what i am going through. Sometimes i find talking ( or just writting helps). I am in the beginning of owrking the program but i also beleive working the program can help. IT is based on Cognitive Behavior therapy i beleive and that kind of stuff works great on anxiety if you do the work required :) Anway, i am just rambling along aren't I lol So hang in there, it can and it will get better! -Diva

Hi Krystin, I just want you to know that I am in your same shoes. I walk around with constant anxiety for no reason. I woke up this morning opened my eyes and started to panic. I know I was panicing for nothing. I also have a son and I worry about him all the time. We are mothers you know. Just take it one day at a time. Deep breathes have seemed to help me. It slows down the physical part of the anxiety attack so I can work on calming my mind. I hope this helped a little bit. Let me know how it worked.

Hi everyone. I don't know what to do to get this constant anxiety under control. It seems like 99 percent of my days are consumed with worry. I'm 27 yrs old and am convinced I have heart disease, ovarian cancer, a brain tumor...and the list goes on. I know it is crazy to think like this. But any little twitch in my body signals to me that there is something wrong with me and I'm going to die young, missing out on my children growing up, leaving them w/o a mommy. I check my pulse about 50 times a day, and it seems it's always fast. But if it happens to be "normal" I immediately think something's wrong then too. I'm scared my husband will die or my daughter. I worry NONSTOP! And I have bad panic attacks too. I don't know why but it's usually only certain situations where they occur. I'm preparing to be Baptized on Easter Sunday. I don't know how I'm going to get up in front of 300 plus people. I'm afraid that my panic will be so overwhelming that I will just pass out, or have a heart attack. Just the thought of that day sends me into a panic, when that should be a day of rejoice and happiness. I'm sorry for rambling on here about this. I just need to vent!! My husband doesn't get it...he just says quit worrying, you're fine, you're not dying, you're not going to pass out in front of the whole church. But I just can't seem to get the worry out of my head! Okay, I'm done. Thanks for listening. Any advice or techniques would be greatly appreciated.
