panic disorder and problems with relocating

[courtneyelizabeth]

can panic disorder prevent a woman who is in love from being so terrified of moving to a new city that she would break up with a man she planned to marry?

[Roger Gould, M.D.]

yes, but that should not be the last word on the issue....you should offer some understanding, and willingness to work through her fear with medications or therapy if it is only panic. But if it is cold feet, or other issues that have not surfaced, then those also should be talked through.  Don't let the diagnostic label interfere with working this out.

Someone help this woman.

Try meditation. I read an article about a meditation on the night sky that allows you to see the light in the darkness. A single-pointed meditation may be of use as well. One focuses on a positive image, his/her notion of compassion or of God, while allowing the other thoughts to pass like clouds.
There is another technique that involves inhaling some negative thought, such as panic, imaged as a blue line leading to the heart, where it dissolves. Then one exhales sereity and peace, as it leaves the body like a radiant white light.

Some individuals like to imagine a healing circle around them, or, sacred space. No negativity is received within it.

I have heard creative visualization might be useful.

I think your suggestions are right on! I have been dealing with physician-prescribed doses of oxycodone medicines , using Suboxone but also try to stay busy and focused on others.
