Hello Val, I am sorry to hear you are having such a rough time of this. But as Mary said you can always come on here and we understand how it is, Hang in there. As for your hubby finding litterature on panic disorder and some of the info on this site might be helpful to help him understand what is going on with you. Education can be a powerful tool. Anyway, keep trying with the program and talk to your doctor to sort things out^^ Remember, this too shall pass^^ -Diva

I'm sorry you are feeling this way, I know how lonely you can feel when going through an episode. Is there a close friend that you can trust that you can speak to and even here is great. I find it hard sometimes when you need to speak to someone and no one is around, you come here and all you need is someone to say it's ok...and it will be ok, one day at a time. Please take care.

Today is not a good day. My shakes are going away, but the zoloft is making me see things and hear things. Ringing in my ears. My head feels clustered. I want to go off the medicine, but I've been told that these symptoms are normal and will go away. I feel crazy!!! My husband is a wonderful man, but he's not being very supportive through this. I feel as if I should keep my disorder to myself. I feel I'm going to lose my job.....I just don't know anymore....

Hiya Val :) Well, here you will find supportive people who get what you are going through. Oh and Casey said it very well, yes this will help you learn how to deal with your thoughts and such and that taking it slowly at your pace is good. I did the program over way more then 12 weeks. Nowadays, I review some lessons here and there and I still apply the homework from sessions to my life and it is helping me so much. I really feel like I am regaining my life. Hang in there, this can be conquered :) -Diva

Hi Val, Yes, this will all make sense as you proceed through the program. Take it slow and work at your own pace for best results. If you have any questions as you are working through, don't hesitate to ask! We can also be reached directly via the feedback link. Keep us posted, Casey ____________________ The PC Support Team

Thank you for all being supportive. Most people I talk to have no understanding of what I'm going through. My boss told me today that it will ruin my life if I don't do something about it. I'm trying!!! I've never even heard of panic attacks until recently and now I'm dealing with them almost everyday....I hope this program helps me. I'm only on the first step and don't see how it will help me, but I'm sure the further I go, the better I will feel. At least I'm praying. I can't live with the the way I feel when I have an attack. People tell me it's all about mind control, when I feel one coming on, but I don't understand how I can control my mind to stop it. Will this program help me understand that?

Hi Val, Welcome to the site! You have found a great place to share your feelings of panic and anxiety with members who truly understand what it is like to experience these feelings. We hope that you find the online program helpful. It teaches you things you may not understand about panic and agoraphobia, your own panic, your own panic cycle, and as you learn and get involved, you begin the journey and the process of taking back control from a fear that at the moment is controlling you. It works this way: The Program guides you through the process of getting back this control. It prepares you for this, one single step at a time, and gives you some homework to bring you along from session 1 to session 2, and onward, in a series of 12 sessions over a period of twelve weeks. We wish you all the best and look forward to hearing from you again soon. Casey ___________________________________ The PC Support Team

Hi Val, I too like Diva have been going through this since my teens. I also went for a long period of not having such a difficult time but I am starting to think the skills I had been using to cope I should have never stopped applying to my daily life. In the last year my panic attacks have come back as strong as ever but this site has been such a help I can't even tell you. I know you are going through a really bad time right now but come here as often as you can it will make a difference.

Hiya Val, Thank you for sharing your story with us :) I would suggest you try the program here. It is really great and has helped me tremendously. Also, seeing a psychotherapist is not a bad idea if it is possible for you. I know I see one when I feel the need for it :) But one way or another, give the CBT program here a try it is very good and empowering :) As to why it started at around 30 for you I would not know. I started having panic attacks in my early teens, was always really anxious tho, my whole life. I should say I was diagnosed in my early teens who knows how long I had this lol! In my family tho, there is a person who started having really bad panic attacks at around 30. I think there is no definite age for this kind of thing to start. Anyway, she did therapy and took Zoloft and she is doing great now. As for me, I have been dealing with this for hmm at least 15 years now if not more. I have good times, great times and not so great times lol. When I have relapses I go see my therapist and reciew my coping skills :) This program here really helped in my last relapse. It taught me a ton of great things. My therapist really approves of the work I do with this site and the program. It helps me a lot. There are ways to live very well with this and cope with the implications of having an anxiety disorder. It doesn't always stay as bad as you are feeling now. I have a full life and feel happy. I feel strong and more and more confident that I can deal with this :) Anyway, just wanted to let you know you are not alone and that things can and will get better. So hang in there and in the meantime remember that this too shall pass :) -Diva

I'm new here and really need someone to talk to! About 2 years ago, my hands started to tremor all of the time. I went to the doc and he prescribed me zanax, which seemed to work. He said it was anxiety and should go away on it's own. Well, 2 years later, I'm still having the tremors and now I'm having severe panic attacks. My first one was in March, I thought I was dying. I lost all feeling, trembled from head to toe, felt hot then cold, my heart was racing, my chest hurt, my body felt like it was falling asleep. They again gave me zanax and that helped. Well, I've had a panic attack every day this past week. I had one at work so bad that I had to have my boss call in my prescription and have someone sit with me. It lasted 10 hours. The prescription (ativan) took away the tremors, but I still had all of the symptoms. I hear that most attacks last about 10 minutes. Mine seem to last all day. I went to my doc the next day and he has put me on zoloft and said that I will be on them for a year and if it doesn't help, I will have to see a phsycotherapist. I'm 30 years old and have never had an attack, I don't understand why I'm having them??? Does anyone understand??? I told my boss today I need to go home and he said ok, but I need to nip this in the butt or it will ruin my life. I decided to stay and be strong, but I'm still so afraid I'm going to have another one and I can't control it!! Val :8o:
