I just thought I would write and share about my good week. I stopped taking diazepam last saturday and went onto a herbal supplement called calm and clamer, magnolia and rhodiola complex on Sunday. Well, It has been one week now and I feel so much better. i haven't had any panic attacks and i am feeling clamer in myself and much more able to think things through logically. I am starting to be 'me' again. I am also doing some guided visualisation and relaxation CDs which are fantastic, i do them everyday if i can and they have also helped bring my anxiety down. I am working hard on my thinking, to be positive and not negative, to use positive words not negative ones. Spiritually I am stronger now, friends have been praying for me and that has helped enormously. I just wanted people to know that a week ago i was in constant panic and anxiety and now one week on I am in a much better place. My dr and counsellor have both said i look different, there is 'light' in my eyes. I hope that this will encourage those of you who are really going through it at the moment, I want to keep a note of this myself too, so that if/when a blip comes i know that is all it is and that it is not forever. i am actually looking forward to today, never thought I'd hear myself say that.
Take care
