Ok I think it is safe to say for most of us the fear is having another PA, the uncomfortable sensations we experience when this happens. This is why we live with day to day generalized anxiety. Once we have one then we live with the Fear, and the fear is kept there by our memory because we choose to continue to obsess about those uncomfortable sensations. Why is it that we find it so hard to focus our memory on good? Take me for instance I have a few phobias because of my fear of the sensations, cause that really is all they are uncomfortable sensations, that I have experienced in certain situations and mine happens to be the Highway certain parts that is, and long high overpasses, bridges, but all though I know I will live thru the sensations (as I have numerous times ) I am unable to face them alone and deal with the sensations for a few minutes

Well here I am another day with the racing thoughts and high anxiety. Driving to work today was definetly a bit of a challenge but I did it!! I kept telling myself it may be scary but I can do it these sensations are not going to harm me I will just be uncomfortable. Boy this sure is a lot of work.

I have been on the immimpramine 75mg for two weeks now. Last week was great I was feeling so much better that I worked myself up to believe it was too good to be true. Anyhow so before leaving for work today I started again to have a few of the "what if" thoughts and yes I changed them, however I still experienced symptoms while driving in. I know that the PA is mostly a memory and a not so nice one however we tend to focuse on the not so good memories and not the good one's which would make things so much better for us. I remember coming to work last week 3 out of the 5 days was fabulous.
