Hello there and I do hope you are having good days now.  Are you eating better now and getting more sleep?  I do hope so.  

I have had some good days lately, and although I am old now, still try to keep active.

You take care and keep in touch.

Thank u so much yes we both know when its a good day thats like a lifetime of joy cause we dont know how long its go last so we have to take advantage of that:)

Bless you, and I am glad you are able to relax more now.  Such a shame medication makes things worse.  I was on an anti depressant, which had no side effects, except weight gain, and it stopped anxiety and panic attacks.  I have stopped it now, and get mild anxiety sometimes.

That is a lot of weight to lose in 3 weeks, but if you feel that is OK, then that is a good thing.  You are being very positive, and that is a very good thing.  Worry just makes things worse doesn't it?  But we all worry.  I am glad you are sleeping better, and hope that continues.  You are certainly taking charge of situations, and that does seem to be helping.  Well done, I am proud of you.  

Let us hope everything gradually improves for you.  Keep in touch, and let me know how things are going.  I will send you a friend invitation, if you would agree to that.  

Take care.

Yes I hear the side affects are way worst than the actual situation at hand but I been trying to get more rest because 4 weeks I was going off of 3 to 4 hrs of sleep so I know that had a lot to do with it also I really want medicine to be my last result. I have lost 20lbs in 3weeks from stress so I plan to continue the weight lost & try not to worry about every situation.  It wont be easy I know but I been sleeping 8hrs since this post & turning the ringer off at night & when I find myself in a few stressful situations I leave if I can or I tell the family I need time to myself & yesterday & today have been the 1st time in a long time I haven't had a attack so I don't wanna speak to soon but im go try my best to relax and make more time for myself:)

Panic and anxiety attacks can be really frightening.  I know it feels like there is something seriously wrong.  Believe me many people have felt as you do.  If doctors give you medication to relieve these symptoms, why do you not want to take them?  Do you feel the side effects will be worse than the panic/anxiety attacks.

You may want to post on the anxiety forum.  They may be ab le to help you more.
