Farmerswife30- first things first, keep doing exactly what you are doing (sharing how you are feeling with others) Anxiety and panic says keep it all inside, but if we do that it only gets worse.

Second, remember this is just a BAD SEASON of anxiety. It has not been this way your entire life, nor will it be this way the rest of your life. This season will pass! I went through a horrible season of anxiety recently, but I believe it is starting to lift! What helped? Remembering that it was not going to last forever, getting on here at least 30 minutes a day was very important. I also try to spend a lot of time on here simply reading others posts and encouraging them. It helps you know you are not alone and it gets your mind off your anxiety.

Lastly, remember that medicine can be hit and miss. If it doesn't work at first, they can try another one. I have panic attack medicine that I take (Xanax) to help when the anxiety really revs up. It sounds like the doctor is putting you on a daily medicine. Do you have anything that the doctor has given you to help when the panic attacks won't let up?

Have you tried Kava or a first aid remedy?

Hello from cattle country, Farmer's Wife. Nope, I ain't no cattle woman. I'm just passing through. One of the locals went and married a wanderer and wander, I do.

And wherever I wander, my anxiety wanders with me. Unfortunately. It stays with me in between wanders, too, so. . . Damn! Looks like I'm stuck with it. Who do I appeal that decision to?

You just did one of the things I do to cope with that no-vucking-fair fact. Reaching out for support in places like this one doesn't fix anything by itself, but it often leads me to remedies that do work. Hope you find that, as well.

Welcome to DS.

like Trying my best said, keep on doing what you are doing. You need to explore your deep inner feeling and write them down on paper. You need to channel where your your anxiety is triggered. If and when you do find psychologist that will help you. Take these notes with you. Not only will it be beneficial to the psychologist but beneficiile to you. It's also something you and your husband can work on together. Sweet Gentle Hug.

hugs to you famerswife30. I understand that this is difficult. Panic attacks are real. I have them too. have you thought about what triggers your panic attacks? is people, places, things, certain words or situations? This is very important to recognize and I urge you to start a journal of what you do from this moment on. what time, what you are you doing, then if an attack comes on, mark it yes or no. if yes, what happened during the attack, then lastly, how did you cope with the situation. I found this helped me. Its also very important that once you learn to recognize a panic attack is come on, to reverse it. Yes, you can do it. Its called controlling your mindset. for every negative thought, think of 2 or 3 positive thoughts. it is a process and it will take practice, genuine practice. you can even include your husband on this process to help you recognize the triggers and how to help you cope. YOU CAN BECOME AN OVERCOMER. I did , you can. believe in yourself. I do. hugs hope to hear from you soon. :)
