That was quick

Staving off Panic Attacks and High Anxiety with everything I have.  I have a meeting in an hour and I'm afraid I might explode...could be interesting.  Send me some good vibrations to help get me thru this.

I think this should be my anthem (Great Song by the way):

Won't you try just a little bit harder?
Couldn't you try just a little bit more?
Won't you try just a little bit harder?
Couldn't you try just a little bit more?

Feeling better.  Work is winding up and I get to go home and see my wife and daughter very soon!

You sound so much better, great choice to go workout!  I think I will follow your example and take short (but freezing) walk outside, clear the head...

i have also had this all my life....it is a terrible feeling..unfourtunitly i have to take a nerve pill when it gets really bad...But before i do that, meaning taking a pill which is only about 3 times a month...I do some breathing excersises...not the paper bag..lol
I inhale for a long 10 seconds then exhale for a long 10 seconds, i repeat it about 10 times...But very slowly, and think of a calming place....It really works..
wishing you luck

Big wheel turn by the grace of God,
Every time that wheel turn 'round,
Bound to cover just a little more ground."

I have found working out  helps me also. I've been 2/2 this week!!!
I feel all achey in the morning, but once i workout the  endorphins kick in and get me going and the pain goes away!

I'm glad your day has turned around!!!

I'm gonna pull through!!  Even was able to write a specification today.  I went and put in a tough workout at lunch and that helped BIG TIME.  There is no way around it - I've always been this way - even when i didn't use...I need to exercise for my mental health.  I'm happier, more productive and generally much when I workout on a regular basis.

hey bud, this happened to me the other night.  i was with my friend who talked me through some breathing exercises..

if you can, go into the john and do some deep breathing.  count to 5 when you breath in, then 5 on the way out (slooow....) then 6, then 7, then 8.. up to 10.  slow slow slow.

see if it helps.  do it a few times if you have to... it helped me tremendously...
