Hi everyone. I haven't been around in a while because I just had my third back surery in 8 months. Really, I"m doing fairly well with that . The surgery was 'minimally invasive' and athough I have nerve damage will take about a year to heal, I'm not doing too badly, although I do have discomfort from the nerve damage. But today I feel like my mind fell in a hole or something. I'm very 'down' , no ambition, full of 'fearful thoughts', the weather here is very gloomy also, and i"m just a plain MESS. 'Coulld somebody please , please send me an encouraging word. I'm very anxious for no reason, took klonopin, and I'm waiting for it to noefully make me feel better. What can I do since I cannot physiically work off the adrenaline to the back surgeries. PLEASE HELP AND SEND ENCOURAGEMENT. Also, if anybody has fears of illnesses, can you write and help me too beccause suddenly this aspect of my panic disorder has gotten TERRIBLE. Every second I think of a new fatal illness to worry about. I take excellent care of myself , don't smoke, don't drink, I eat organic foods, take supplements, and do everything to stay helalthy and here I sit with non stop fears of illness. PLEASE HELP.

I am dealing with these thoughts right at this moment. I'm just waiting for them to pass. Logging onto this site to hear encouraging words alwasys seems to help it pass.
You are not alone in this.
I can't work off the panic thru vigorous exercise due to rhe surgery. Really struggling!
