About Me
I am a 27 year old who is currently working as a rehabilitation program aide for a non-profit organization that trains people with developmental disabilities. I have been dealing with panic disorder and depression for the last 8 years, and it has been quite the struggle. I feel that I am a good person, and as anyone, I want so much in my life. I feel as though I have not developed the right kind of attitude towards my illness yet, and that is one of my goals.

Close Anxiety
Hi. My name is Dottie. I'm 27 years old and I have been dealing with anxiety and depression for the last 8 years. My anxiety comes suddenly, and scares me intensely, and I often feel so alone when this happens. I'm here to get into contact with people who have felt the way I do, and what kind of treatment has worked for them.
Treatments
- Ativan Somewhat Helpful
- I'm not really sure how much it's been helping me. I've been on it since last August (06) and try to use it sparingly.
- Breathwork Too Soon to Tell
- I try deep breathing as much as possible when I feel anxious, but it often has only a minimal effect.
- Lexapro Somewhat Helpful
- It seems to be working minimally, but I'm not sure how much it does for my anxiety.
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- There's nothing in the world that is more comforting than a hug from someone who loves you
- Prayer Working / Worked
- God is really my ultimate strength
- Laughter Working / Worked
- I laugh to take the edge off.
Close Physical & Emotional Abuse
I was a victim of physical and verbal abuse for most of my childhood, at the hands of my father. He still verbally abuses me every chance he gets, and I'm only barely learning how to deal with it.
Treatments
- Abuse Counseling Working / Worked
- Counseling has always worked well for me, but right now I don't have one, so I need to get back into it.
Open Panic Attacks
I've had an 8 year history of panic attacks, that make me feel awful. My stomach starts hurting, I feel intensely lonely, I shake, and I stop eating. I am trying to learn to come to terms with them and not be so hard on myself when I have them, cause I know that just makes it worse.
Treatments
- Effexor Working / Worked
- I was on it until last year, probably longer than I should have been.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- I had therapy in the past, and it worked well, and am currently seeking another one.
- Ativan Working / Worked
- It works to calm me down, but sometimes I have to take a lot of it and I don't like that.
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- A lot of times I talk to friends or have them come over and sit with me until I calm down.
