I have had panic and anxiety for over a year and a half now. It has been a battle to say the least. Everytime I wuld start to feel better some other symptom would come and put me back down again. I have been reading alot of self help books and doing some writing. I can honestly say I have not felt this good in along time. I have come to realize that when I dont give into my fears they go away. I was really tested 2 weeks ago when I had a really bad cold and everything was stuffed up. I did it though without any panic. That made me proud. I have been to work for every shift for the last 3 months. I have gone out and done stuff with my family and it was so nice. I guess what I am trying to say is that it can be done. I have worked very hard to come to this point and I know that if I slide back I will be better equipped to handle it this time. I finally dont wake up every morning and think when it going to happen. I actually sleep now. This site has helped me realize everything I was feeling was not deadly. There are alot of great people who responded when I thought the end was near....so thank you. I still come on here everyday to offer advice if I can. I dont know what the future holds, but I know I can handle it. Thank you to everyone who helped me. I am eternally grateful.
