Good Morning,
Do not be afraid of finding out the truth - the decisions you make after that will be pivoting from a place of knowledge, not from the unknown, which, perpetuates fear.
Bye for now,
Maria

Wow - Red's point is definitely interesting and this kind of thing is what I was hoping to get from this board - stuff that will make me think and help ME change MYSELF (although I did go and see my Dr. and brought him the test - he was impressed).
I am definitely "The Worrier". I start thinking of things and I know that if I keep thinking about them an anxiety session will come. But when I get on the "worry track" I can't get off. It just gets faster adn faster until I hit the "wall" (i.e. an anxiety attack).
I guess my first major task is finding ways to get off the "Worry Track". I would pay a million dollars to someone who could show me how to get off it... I'd mortgage my house. My life is passing me by and hitting the wall slows me down.

Did your doctor comment on the test results? Did you tell him of your "worries"? Have the 2 of you got a plan of action yet? Did he give you meds? You have to figure out what to do...a course of action...and start.
Then when you figure out what is going on there..I will be glad to discuss your "worries"...maybe someone who has been down that road can help. Maybe just discussing it will shed some light on how you can help yourself.
Panic disorder leaves one feeling lik they are alone ..or the only one that has it in the whole world.
Have you got any self-help books?

Hi,
I can recommend one in particular, called Anatomy of The Spirit, by Carolyn Myss, PH.D. This book sets forth reasons why we are the way we are and explains how to develop the powers we have inside, to our best use.
I would recommend the Internet..do a search for 'self-talk, positive' and see what comes up. Also, self-esteem is a topic that is hot today. It is the end result of positive self-talk.
Then the best thing to do is go to favorite bookstore, get Latte, and look thru the self-help, philosophy and healing sections. That is my favorite thing to do after looking on the Inet to see what new books are out.
Hope this helps.
The original book for kids is called "The Little Engine That Could". It is a child's book for the power of positive thinking. The premise is that you can do it, it starts with thinking that you can.
Did you grow up with that book?
My kids did.
Red

Hello everyone  I am new member: just joined today. I have been suffering from panic attacks for 5 years starting (on and off): they started after discovering my father dead on his kitchen floor. When my first panic attack started I was put on Paxil and Clonazepam which worked wonders: I was on these drugs for one year/felt better/so went off them. However, periodic panic attacks started to reoccur under stressful situations: I then started taking Ativan 1 mg sublingual which helps immediately. Anyways, panic attacks are awful and everyone's situation is different. I am glad I discovered this venue. Hope to stay in touch here!
