Your advice is right on, but I must say, reading the comments of others, that one of the most important things you offer is someone to talk to about anxiety and panic. Many of us do not have that resort - friends and family often just don't understand if they have never been through it. Just imagine having PTSD as the returning armed forces do - can't imagine their agony with no-one to turn to. Ann I’d like to follow up on my comments a few moment ago.

I was helpless with it and had to call the ambulance which, by the way, cost over $1,000, luckily covered by Medicare and AARP supplement. Drinking water, at least 8 glasses a day, does absolutely help. I start feeling anxious, and drink another glass. I do have some Xanax on hand if things get too bad because it really helps, and I don't take it regularly. I do take 1/2 a lexapro in the AM. Hoping to get off these soon but am presently concentrating on getting off the Blood Pressure meds which have such awful side effects. I still take a 325 mg coated Aspirin, and will be going down to 162 mg very soon (2 small ones, coated). Everything I have read so far is very encouraging. thanks.

I had no clue what it was, and it became more severe about a month ago I thought I was having a heart attack, and my hands drew up and in, it was the scarriest thing since.......ever. Anyway I've had a panic attack everyday since the first one in December, I didn't know what they were and I was trying to fix it so, I quit smoking (thank you God), I started watching my sodium and sugar intake, and I quit drinking soda and started drinking water which I hardly ever did and my panic attacks are almost gone but if say for instance I drink a soda during the day it makes my attacks stronger.

I've had this for the past 4 years and thought I was the only one..amazing as it sounds, it took 2 years for me to finally find out what it was...I went to see all kinds of specialists to diagnose this. I am seeing a therapist and am not on any medication...and I would like to stay that way. Thank you again and I appreciate all that you do...it makes so much sense and your words of explaining and showing, sharing examples in partners with your audios have made me see that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you so much for all you are doing for me...I'm so glad to have found your site...Your support is most admired! I also believe that God creates amazing things and reasons for events in one's life...God bless you. Barry,

Niether time I had treatment as I was always able to pretend their was nothinhg wrong with me! One evening while relaxing with my husband I had a pain in my head so bad I thought I was going to faint...to cut a long story short , many trips to the A7E dep and being told that panic disorder was just something I had to live with I have had to try and learn that taking medication would be the only thing that would keep this debilitating disease at bay....Not happy to stop there I scoured the internet for answers, and very quickly almost freakely quickly I found you Barry....I have only just started trying your mini series and it has seemed to help. I havent yet driven on a motorway as I'm too afraid of the feelings I get....reading all the comments have been amazing too as you do feel like you're slightly mad sometimes!!! Thanks SO much, looking forward to recieving more of your advice! Off to drink some water! I had post natal depression with both my children.
