i just wanted to giv out a message, like of hope really, as you'll notice from wot i say, i'm anxiety free at the mo, so you may think i'm talking shit, but believe me i've been to hell an back many times with anxiety an panic!
an this is somthing that has helped me deal with my chronic anxiety.
first of all i have accepted that this is the way i am now, an at times i will suffer, but there will be gud times too, which i will enjoy and make the most of every second. when the bad times come, i try not to look at it as though 'i' m back to square 1', as i am no longer looking for a 'cure'. thinking this way means that when i hit a bad patch, i dont hav to deal with the dissapointment and the frustration that 'oh my god it back!' of course, theres a bit of that, but i accept that, if feel terrible, i will be in hell for a while and then it will pass, COS IT ALWAYS PASSES, DOSN'T IT? an when its a bad patch i know the tourture of thinking 'OH MY GOD, WOT IF I STAY LIKE THIS 4EVER?' that thought is terrifying. so u must believe that it will pass, this will make it go on its way quicker, but when it does pass, dont be like 'hurray i'm cured!!' just take each day as it comes, and remember you have survived every 'bad episode' so you'll survive and cope with the next - wot dosnt kill u will only make you stronger, and if your in hell, just keep goin, and you'll come out of he other side, like you've done everytime before!
oh, an for all those of you that are scared to take meds, please dont be, if your doc is offering you somthing to make it bearable, giv it a go.

I totally agree with you. Every day that passes with this awful anxiety we just get stronger and stronger.
Ive had no panic attacks for the last couple of days and i am soooooo happy! i never thought that this would happen but it has and i feel so much stronger.
I know that there are better times ahead and i try and take each day as it comes just like you said.
I know sometimes things just seem so hard and it feels like you will never be free of the horrible feelings and fear but believe me it does get easier and you start to take control again.
I also think it helps to have support from family and friends. This site is really good too and its nice to know that i can give and take advice on here.
I think the most important thing to remember is that things will get better!
Big hugs x
Hugs a plenty and stay anxiety free forever!!
