I have suffered from anxiety and panic for the past 17 years. I'm finally at the point where I realize, the more I give into my anxiety (staying home, missing work, cancelling plans), the worse I get.

I HAVE to make myself get out and confront whatever is making me anxious. It's the only way I beat it. There is no easy cure, no perfect drug, no magic technique. It's uncomfortable when you first start - but once you get going, you become stronger internally and realize you are IN control and CAN handle whatever the situation may be.

I'm stressing out over burning man planning and woke up 10 min ago (yes I'm a sw junkie) with really bad anxiety..like the feeling of it coming on. The stress is causing it. Good think my kitty is playing lap commando; he's so soft and comforting.

I don't understand what's going on with me. I'm happier than I've ever been, more productive than I've been in years, and I'm having panic attacks again. I can't stop thinking about the fact that K and I are both going to die someday, and that terrifies me. I'm a lot more afraid of death these days and I don't know why. I guess there's been a lot of death around me lately so that probably has something to do with it, but it's gotten so that any little contented moment I have with K gives me a panic attack because I know how short and fleeting it all is.

I hope this passes.

I'm been having panic attacks this past week and I hate it so much.

Surprisingly during burning man and now after I've been mostly anxiety free. No fears of it coming on either. Haven't even had to think about my ativan.

I wish I could find something that worked for my panic attacks. Everything any Dr has tried has worked about as well as tic tacs. I can take xanax, klonopin,valium,etc...by the bottleful and it has no effect on me. So I live in anxiety of my next panic attack knowing that I have nothing to help. Sucks.No fair.

I was doing well, but the anxiety is coming back with school and all. God, I hate school.

I haven't read the entire thread but felt the need to post i didnt start to have full blown panic attacks until this year in the summer. I have had social anxiety after hard times with my verbaly/emotionaly and physcally abusive ex bf. I'm going to start taking meds tommorow and i'm scared but whatever it takes to get back to my normal self i'm willin to do. I have been managing my anxiety/ depression with will power, alchohol, and marijuana but its not working and to be truthful I think the MJ makes my anxiety worse. So I'm gonna watch my drinking take my meds and stay the hell away from my ex bf and try to get my life back to gether. Lets hope that this works.
