Need Help
Posted: 08-27-04 21:22pm

I have real bad anxiety attacks. I can't seem to get them under control. I've been on just about every medication there is. My husband said to get online and talk to other people who have the same problem. Maybe this can help me and maybe I can help someone else. Thank you

Yes you are definately at the right place, not the only place... But this is where I started. Most ppl here have an anxiety problem or similar.. I have insomnia for around 6 years and moderate anxiety problem for 3 years. I have only recently begun to readup, change my lifestyle, take medication and I think the most important of all... To talk to people.

So how long have you had these problems and what have you done about it already?

try and get involved in a cbt program. It was the answer for me. I was on meds for many years before I found cbt and it cured me and got me off meds in a remarkably short period of time. Best of all once you learn the tools in cbt you have them forever so you are able to give yourself relief almost instantly whenever you are feeling stressed, anxious or down. It's all about using the tools to learn to think more clearly and accurately about things and once you do your anxiety, panic and depression will miraculously begin to lift before your eyes. Many universities offer cbt programs for little or no charge so call the ones in your area. My favorite starter book on cbt is "been there, done that? Do this! By sam obitz. Like anything in life the more you put in the more you get out of cbt.
Good luck!
