Heya, Jen. I just started on this site a couple days ago and am still trying to figure out how it works. I have been having panic attacks with constant anxiety, fears, and depression for about 10 years now. Sometimes a go a few months without even remembering I have a problem, but then I go for a few more in the ****hole. I have only worked 2 months of the last 9, when before this year, I always kept a job. I have gone through a difficult time of suicidal thoughts and constant anger at the affliction I have, but I am slowly getting better. Just take this one step at a time, even if it is getting frustrating that it never ends. Do research, find those things that help you calm down and you will become stronger.

Hi Jen!!!
i started on this site about a week ago and i must say it has led to somewhat of a panic free week. it is reassuring knowing that you are not alone and knowing that if you are having a good day you may be able to help someone who isnt!
welcome!

Hi, Jen, and welcome. This is a great site and has helped me so much to see that I'm not alone. The people here are supportive and understanding. Yeah, no one understands something better than when they've been through it themselves. I've had PA's for most of my life, but they became the worst ever over the past year with a brief hospitalization for me in Jan. to get started on new meds to help me. I'm here if you ever need to talk. Anglena

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
