SYMPTOMS OF ANXIETY/PANIC DISORDER: Part One

» rhonda_m - Anxiety/Panic Disorder

Karen

Hello again. Well I finally feel that my "foggy" feeling has been validated. I have been healing from my anxiety/panic disorders and I am left with the foggy feeling. I have been hoping for so long someone would know what the heck I have been talking about for over 2 1/2 years. I have come to terms with it, but I will not accept it to be a life long condition. I have been working with an alternative healer and she has helped me remove my emotional blocks regarding this issue and it's been helping me! I did suffer from most of the issues on your list...and I want people to know that you can overcome them. The mind is a complicated thing and it can heal. Keep uo the good work Karen!!!

» truckerplus - It is comforting realizing that I'm not the only one out there

It is comforting realizing that I'm not the only one out there that has had to deal with these weird feelings. I first started having them after I was diagnosed with Epilepsy.That was over ten years ago. I have experienced most of the symptons listed in the article. I was so afraid of having a seizure. When it first started happening , I thought I was having a seizure;but the seizures never appeared. Only the feelings that drove me crazy did.I didn't want to leave my home ,then when I did leave I didn't want to be by myself. I tried working for a while , but it was pure tortue when those panicky feelings came....and driving...that was hard too.There were times I would pull to the side of the road until the feelings passed. All the while trying to assure myself that I was fine...that my fears were all in my mind.They used to occur very frequently.Somehow over the years the frequency of them have lessoned. Now they only appear once in a while.Having panic attacks ultimately didn't keep me from having a life , but it did make it difficult to say at least.

In response to message posted by rhonda_m:

For several years I thought I was the only person to feel "foggy", but as I read your message I kinda felt relieved that I'm not the only one.
I haven't gone to a professional to help me with my panic disorder because my mother thinks that if I do they give me medication that will make me addicted or they'll tell me Im crazy or something.
Today I had another panic attack but it was far worse than the rest and I decided that enough is enough I can't try to "control" it anymore. My parents say that I should get a grip on myself, but I've come to the point where I can't control this feeling of fear. It keeps coming back and I know I need help. I really don't want it to get worse. It's affecting my life and happiness and I'm tired of it. I'd like to ask you, what treatment is recommended for panic disorder and where should I go to get help? thank you for your time and please write back
sincerely,
annette
