It's been one huge catastrophe after another here, and it's driving me bonkers.

Sheri i feel your frustration and anxiety. As you know my life isn't really getting any better right now either. I'm so messed up I can't wait to talk to the therapist that's no help at all. LOL Now that's what I call desperation. LOL.

Here's hoping things get better for both of us.

Your friend,
Keitha

Sounds like you need a big hug and a mini-vacation!

Things seem to pile up for us with anxiety. I know I have difficulty dealing with more than one situation at a time. You are doing it tho! You made some tough choices and know your limits so don't beat yourself up about it too much. You should take some comfort in the fact that you made a decision at all. I sometimes have such trouble making choices they get made for me, that's not always a good thing.

So vent anytime you want!! I'll listen :)

I'm a 25 year old guy and right now my biggest issue is driving. I am having a really hard time with driving and my panic attacks. I keep associating driving with some of the bad panic attacks I've had in the past and if I dont end up having a big attack again when I drive I have to breathe very cautiously all the way to where I am going. Its a horribly scary situation to panic and drive and I feel for you. i have hads panic attacks for 2 years now and its hard to see any light at the end of the tunnel but I hear these things eventually shall pass and I cannot wait for that day. In the meantime I keep fighting and trying to live life as normal as I can in an effort to realize my dreams and not let this keep me down. it has been a very difficult and exhausting fight for me but I'll be darned if panic attacks (irrationally based fear as far as I am concerned) will take my dreams and aspirations and squash them! Good luck to you. I think it will get better, just not sure when because I'm still waiting.

(((Sheri Ann))) Yes, it will get better. But, never soon enough): Read the Sunday thought that I posted. It's very hopeful for all of us.


I never forget when I was unable to drive. In fact, I didn't leave the house, answer the door or phone. I was alone & didn't want to be. There was never a clearly defined line when I began to get better. I recall the kids wanting to go to a circus & it broke my heart to tell them it wasn't going to happen. I began those small steps to regain my life. I know this will happen for you. Good luck! jan
