Beta blockers start working from the first dose or two.

Your anxiety is the human representation of the pictures that you paint using your many vivid colours of revolving and reoccurring thoughts.

I have had anxiety attacks for about 2 years but just really
*accepted* that diagnosis about 6 months ago. My symptoms are so
physical that I just knew it was my heart. But after 5 or 6 trips to
the ER and no other diagnosis Ive had to admit that I have this
problem. I hate it.I have felt such guilt and shame. We are Christians
so arent we supposed to have faith and not fear?

I am determined to not take drugs and only resort to Xanax about once
every couple months when I have a big attack. I want God to heal me. I
have prayed and beleive He can. I dont understand why this has
happened to me. I tried to go to a Christian counselor about this but
felt such guilt for that. I am just sure that God is my only Counselor
and He is the Great Physician.

I am not depressed although this situation is starting to get me that
way. One time I had shortness of breath for 3 days I went to the ER on
the 1st day and was sent home....But still couldnt breath. I even woke
up in the middle of the night choking and trying to catch my breath.

Has anyone else ever experienced this? Has anyone else ever taken a
long time to be diagnosed properly because most of their symptoms were
physical?

Does anyone know what is the *Personality type* that usually suffers
from anxiety/panic attacks? Is there a common thread among all of us?
How exactly does Zoloft work?

Sorry for the multitude of questions..I need Help!!!
