    • Close Anxiety

      Ok, this is NOT easy. I've suffered from panic attacks for close to 20 years now. I've been in the emergency room only once with it. I was treated SO badly there, that I haven't been able to seek medical attention now. I have learned ways to cope, somewhat, but if I'm honest with myself, I have to admit, I simply hide. I do anything I can to avoid stressful situations, just so I don't have to ever go through that again. No clue WHY they started. This has affected every aspect of my life.

      Treatments

      Breathing Exercises Working / Worked
      The very deep breathing and muscle control will work for me if the attacks JUST start and are mild.
      Xanax Working / Worked
      Alprazolam works IF my attack is not severe. I'm out of them now, but have anxiety SO badly about seeing a doctor, that I cannot go. Side effects are tiredness, lethargy.
