Hello Darlings!

[social gadfly]

Hello dolls. My name Samantha and I have a panic disorder and GAD as well, however I'm not on medication mainly because I want to try to overcome any issues without the help of mass amount of prescription drugs so I meditate daily and 80% of the time I feel centered and anxiety isn't an issue. However I do have a low dose of Lorazepam for the times when I cannot gather control over myself. I have a fear of dying, and the smallest infractions tend to make me believe that I'm bedding closer to death. Such as my heart beating a bit fast, means I must be having a heart attack despite that I'm only 20 years old and in perfect healthy. I'm always at the doctor's as well. Despite the fact that I know I'm not dying, I still feel as if I am as if I'm arguing with two mindsets and I'm battling over reality and this fictitious looming death I feel is behind me.

Hi there,
I don't come on here as often as I used to since iv been getting better, Like you I too don't take any med's, I'm doing the no caffeine, no alcohol, no sugar after 6pm, lots of excercise diet, it really helps me but its hard when every quickening heart beat is a heart attack, every lump is cancer and every headache is a brain tumour cause that's my life too (at the moment, must stay positive that's its not forever) with 2 children to bring up, I fear dying & leaving them without a mother but since chatting on here, controling my diet & using positive thinking i'm getting much better. Hope it helps to know your not alone!!

Take care Charlotte xxx
