Yep. I'm a 48 year old professional, and I get similar symptoms just going to the grocery store. Or answering the phone. I take Atavan, but it doesn't make it totally go away. Just tolerable, I guess. I've had this all my life, but just figured out what it was recently and had it addressed. I do meditational stuff, to (Mindfulness practice). All seems like nothing a good stiff brandy couldn't help with but I can't keep doing that down every aisle of the store, can I?
You can try reading abook on meditation, but if you're not a meditating kind of guy, it's not a fun read. Try this one.

The meditation section of any bookstore is pretty big. See what you think of one of them.
Good luck.

There are so many different forms of meditation. So please don't just browse through one or two books and decide it isn't right for you. I would recommend checking out books at your local library. That way you don't waste any money. If you can't find many books at your local library, i do believe there are a few online libraries. You might also try going to a used bookstore. A couple bucks on a book isn't a big deal really, and many local stores (at least in this area) will exchange it for a same priced book if you decide, within a week, that it wasn't what you were looking for.

I do yoga and some meditation and have just begun to wonder through the journey of mindfulness.
I also do EMDR therapy. And don't take any medication. Eat a healthy diet, and try to exercise.

thanks for replying I will make sure my shrink appoves of the type of meditation i use. I will go to a person not a book for this meditation. I will do my homework listening to people on here and my doctor and other sources. 9 miler do you take any drugs for your case. thanks

Go with the feeling. Don't fiight it. Just say this feeling is anxiety, let it come and know that it will pass. If it comes on and you say omg here it is ., this is awful, I am scared-whatever. It will come on full force. But if you immediately tell yourself oh yea, its just my anxiety, it is no big deal, I will just wait until it passes-then it does. It leaves as quickly as it came.

I am an ex army man so the military saying was "pain is just weakness leaving the body" well my shrink told me to put it in this perspective.....he said, " that anxiety is just ignorance leaving the mind" It helped me for about 3 weeks any way lol. I don't know if you are a person that has a relationship with God or not but I find that prayer and reading the Bible helps quite a bit. The auther of Psalms (David) went through alot of anxiety and affliction.
