Victims of anxiety and panic attacks Community Group
A place where anyone with panic attacks and/or anxiety attacks can talk to others about triggers, and maybe even offer help to one another with methods they've found to work for them.

So I am the founder of this little place so let me fill you in a bit about me.
I am about to turn 40 in May and have a husband (Bill) and three grown children, plus two grandchildren. I know, right? LOL! You can call me Rose. I have bipolar disorder type 1 and severe anxiety. Recently I have been dx'd with COPD and a herniated disc. Life has been throwing some doozeys my way but I am hanging in there.
I love computers, can fix just about any computer you've got, and I also do taxes. I have two lab mixed babies, Roxie and Zoe.
Please introduce yourselves and tell us about you!!!

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

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...

am a binge eater (have just admitted this to myself about 2 days ago)

I don't have major panic attacks like I used to have, but I do know anxiety, & do panic when someone tries to fit me into a mold that's not meant for me. My life usually goes along "ok", as long as I'm left to make my own decisions, etc. If a certain person tries to play with my mind, I get very angry, frustrated & hurt. And yet, I cannot be alone. The idea of this certain person dying before me (he had cancer 2 yrs ago), terrifies me. If I allow myself to think of it, I quickly go into panic & even terror mode.
I'm thankful for this new group that Rose has started. I believe we will all be the better for it.

I just found this website tonight, and I have to say it is fantastic. It got me through an attack, that's for sure--just being able to talk to other people and know I'm not alone really helps a lot.
Cheers!
Nice to have a website that I can come to and relate with others.
I have been experiencing panic attacks since last late December or so I thought. I did some deep thinking and reflections on my past. I realized I had my first one at the age of 12 with some between then and now. They have become more frequent since I've entered into what I call "the second trimester of life". I do believe I have PSTD that may be triggering these things, as I've dealth with an extensively painful life due to having an abnormal childhood dealing with drug addicted parents etc..etc. I feel as if all that stuff that happen when I was a kid could be coming back to me without my knowing...unconscious...I tend to block bad out.
Well, I started taking Lexapro yesterday and will start counseling on October 30th.
I want my functional mind back a.s.a.p!
