They're Back

I really am so tired of these panic attacks. I thought I had control of them and although sometimes I do, they just keep coming back. I take klonopin every now and then for help, but when I've been stopping that it seems as if I get worse panic attacks. I'm so tired of this and fighting this. I even went to get hypnotized once which seemed to help for a little while. I just feel so awful right now.

you need to learn CBT coping skills
klonapin as needed in a large enough dose helps a lot so carry a few tablets with you when out

a golden rule is
float, dont fight
when panicky, relax and breathe deep and slow, accept and dont tense up or fight back

Wow my thoughts exactly. Panic disorder is like being on the rollercoaster to hell. It can be so depressing. Lately, I have felt so hopeless and desperate. I just thank God I have a job, with out it I don't think I would make it. I need something to distract me. I see my shrink on Monday...thankfully! I need to talk to him about my new symptom..depression. It will all work out in the end. I have to take one day at a time. We will heal one day!! I have to believe that.

Thank you all. It does make me feel better to know I'm not alone. I just all of us could just find a magical cure to get rid of this. These anxieties seem to rob us of what we deserve, happiness.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
