Dont give up. If you are having an anxiety attack or an anxious day it will pass. Have you seen your doctor? If not please do. If you can manage try to meditate or do some breathing exercises and take the focus off the anxiety. The more we feed into the feelings of it the more it will take control. Do you have triggers that set you off or are you generally always anxious? Do your best to relax and refocus. Remember you have had this before and it does pass. You will be ok. I hope that you are working with your doctor to get help and can start to feel better.

read "The Anxiety Cure" By Dr. Archibald D. Hart.  Very benifical.

It's a gland that produces cortisol. If the cortisol is too high it can produce anxiety and panic attacks. The problem can be treated.

Dont give up! i have been dealing with it for over 11 years and i am still waiting for a normal life to come back around. its scary! and i know sometimes the thoughts that go thru your head. i feel you. but pray and always get in a quiet place when you feel this way. and turn on a fan to help cook you down. that will help you relax. i have been on  paxil, but i went thru withdraws with it. so i changed to lexapro. keep talking, when you talk you help you! then you help me!
