runner= That is great, keep up the good work. When I hear that someone has had a good day or week, it almost feels like a personal victory. It proves, it can be done. Callie

runner, I have had anxiety, panic and OCD as long as I can remember, but didn't get an official diagnosis until about 9 months ago. When I was a kid I had night terrors and would act out in my sleep. I would awaken in the middle of these horrible dreams and have a panic attack. Then I would suffer with insomina for weeks afterwards because of the fear. My parents took me to the pediatrician and I was diagnosised with hyperactivity disorder. Unfortunatly in the '70's not much was known about panic and anxiety especially in children. I suffered with it off and on throughout my life. It has kind of gone in cycles and manifests itself in alot of different ways. It actually pretty much went away for years at various times. It wasn't until it came back last summer that I finally went to see a psychiatrist because my family doctor diagnosised me. Now that I know what it is and the symptoms of it I am not as afraid as I use to be. I read everything I can about the various anxiety related disorders and have gone through a couple of self help programs and still have check ups with a pshychiatrist. So it does get better, knowledge is power and this group is a tremendous help to me, because I can come here when I feel bad and be reminded I'm not alone and when I'm feeling good(which thankfully is most of the time now) I can come here and try to help others who may not has come as far in their recovery as I have.

Thanks to all of you who took time to answer my post. I thought about it and you are right. I am a Euchristic Minister and when it all began and I had to go on the alter, I would get so nervous that I would clench my fists so hard so that my nails dug into myhands. It was almost like if I thought about my hands hurting, I could stop thinking about how I felt. Then I began to notice that when I would go to daily mass, I would wait til the very last minute so they would not ask me to serve. Then I got to the point that I stopped going at all, even on Sunday because I thought I would get that feeling again. Since I have been messaging on the boards, I have gone back on Sundays (with my family) and do get there 2 or 3 times a weekday. I still get that feeling, but at least I am trying to go. Thanks for answering my post. Callie

Pamela You are very good explaining anxiety. How long have you been dealing with this anxiety of yours. Has it been getting better with time? You seem to have A opretty good handle on it.

Callie Pamela has a good point .Your anxiety occurs when you make the connection where your first anxiety occurred. then when you think about the event the anxiety occurs again. that is what happened to me. My anxiety revolves arond teaching and school.when I think about school I get anxious.

Callie, I am so sorry to hear that you are having problems with anxiety and also on the loss of your husband. 6 years is quite awhile ago, but I'm sure you are still affected by your loss. You said your anxiety and panic began about 9 months ago. Were you in church when they first started? If you were in church or attending church during the time your anxiety first started you could have formed a connection in your mind between anxiety and church. So everytime you think about church you also think about panic and make it happen. Just a thought, I had my first panic attack in years while taking a bath and as silly as it sounds I couldn't even think about taking a bath without feeling like I was going to panic.(I did shower though, so my husband didn't have to move to the guest room ;p)My therapist told me once that when I feel really anxious I should take a bubble bath to relax myself, boy if she only knew how scared that made me feel. But anyways just a thought I had maybe it will give you something to consider.

Trying to think positive is sometime so hard to do. My mornings are the worst for me. For the past 8 years or so, I go to morning mass. I always found this was the perfect way to begin my day. My husband passed away 6 yrs. ago in October and I continued to go. Then all the sudden the panic attacks began (about 9 months ago) Can not figure out what is causing them, but the very thought of going to chuch terrofies me. Very rarely am I relaxed enough to concentrate on what is going on. For a while, I could not drive, go to the store or go anywhere. I seem to have just about overcome everything except this church thing. Sure, there are days when I still get the "crazies" but usually I can get over them. Any suggestions as to why church makes me feel as I do? This morning in church, I cried to myself, (Lord, I know this is what you want me to do, then why does it make me feel so bad?") I live alone and just had to talk to someone today. Sometime just telling someone makes you feel better. Callie

Pamela Thankyou fo the nice note. It makes me feel better that are suffering with anxiety just like me. The thought replacement is helping. Worrying does not help solve the problem. It just wears you out. Keep sending me your thoughts .

runner, that's a tough question to answer because most of us don't have a valid reason for being panicky and anxious , we have just usually been under alot of stress and kind of snapped and began to let our minds run away with us. But your situation is different there really is a serious issue that you're dealing with, so of course you are going to think about it, be concerned about your wife etc. I think the difference is in what way your are thinking about it. You are thinking about all of it in a very negative way that is making you depressed and anxious. You should write down your thoughts in a journal, for instance if you are thinking, I just can't handle this, the person I love the most is really ill and the cancer could come back and she could die, so therefore I would be alone and I would never survive all by myself. You replace that thought in your journal with, Bad things happen in this life, but I am very fortunate because my wife is getting better and the doctors have said the cancer is gone. I am going to trust what they have told me, and focus on taking care of her right now and not worry about the what ifs. So by doing it this way you aren't avoiding the 'real' situations in your life, but you are keeping them in perspective and not allowing your mind to dwell on the worse case scenario.
