MY NAME IS JAMES
I HAVE POSTED IN THE GROUP FOR A LITTLE WHILE NOW.
I HAVE SUFFERED FROM PANIC DISORDER FOR YEARS NOW DUE TO MY DADS DEATH I AM HORRIBLY AFRAID OF DYING, I THOUGHT THIS WOULD LAST FOREVER.I HAVE SUFFERED WITH IT FOR SO LONG AND I HAD NO IDEA HOW I WAS FEELING. NUMBER ONE PANIC MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE A DISEASE LIKE "MAYBE ITS NOT MENTAL BUT I HAVE A FATAL BRAIN ILLNES"
THATS NOT THE CASE THERE ARE ALOT OF PEOPLE DIAGNOSED WITH THIS EVERYDAY SO NEVER FEEL LIKE YOU ARE ALONE.
THREE WEEKS AGO I GOT ON A MEDICINE CALLED CELEXA IT WAS ALITTLE ROUGH AT FIRST BUT AFTER 3 DAYS I FELT GREAT I HAVE NOT HAD A PANIC ATTACK OR ANXIETY IN 17 DAYS AND COUNTING THATS FANTASTIC CONSIDERING I USED TO HAVE 2-3 A DAY ALL OF MY SYMPTOMS HAVE SUBSIDED I FEEL LIKE MY LIFE JUST RESTARTED AND I HAVE A SECOND CHANCE
I JUST FOUND A JOB AND I AM HOLDING IT DOWN. IN THE PAST 2 YEARS I HAVENT BEEN ABLE TO WORK MORE THAN 3 DAYS AT A TIME IT JUST MADE ME FEEL TRAPPED BUT NOW I WORK IN A PUBLIC PLACE WITHOUT FEAR. WITH THE HELP OF MY DOCTOR,MEDICINE AND THE PANIC PROGRAM I FEEL I HAVE BEATEN MY OWN FEARS.
THANKS FOR READING THIS I HOPE IT HELPS
JAMES E
