Paul as well as the book has been a blessing for me! I can actually say that I am 90% myself again and it feels great because I've come from crippling anxiety/panic attacks that forced me to become bed bound. I still suffer from bad days, emotionally and physically but my good out weigh the bad which is all that matters. So far I'm still suffering emotionally from The fear of dying young from my so-called undetected illness...and physically; lightheadedness, overwhelming weak spells, shortness of breath and the one that plague me the most that not many discuss I see....CHEST PAIN! (now how could you not associate that with heart disease or attack)? Thanks everyone for being here! :) Hello everyone,

I am trying very hard to see how much my attitude has changed towards my anxiety in the past year. It consumed me totally for a while, and it is only now that i have realised that i have suffered with this for many years. What else can i say other than without the book and pauls explanation, and others help and support, i wouldnt have come this far. A year ago i couldnt get out of bed without feeling physically sicvk and eaten up with anxiety, now i am back at work more or less living life, cant say im enjoying it as i want to but that will come in time, just accept. easy to say hard to do at times. just believe in yourself, i am so convinced that we can all do it. all the best and have a good day sun is out and that helps ! very true, brings us all together. it is very hard. but we will all get there.

I have a pretty heavy job, as a psych nurse as it goes but it doesnt make it easier having an 'insiders view' so to speak as it has been this website that has given me the most support. I think my naturally questioning and analytical mind is kind of turning on me and work is so stressful. In order to get better I think i need to commit to the belief that I will get better which is where i seem to have the problem. It sounds like you've been through alot Lorry, as others have on this site. What would we have done 20 years ago if we had this illness without the internet?

Its funny how when things turn bad they seem really bad , I suppose its because we are still frightened of them and begin to think the worst ! If you can just weather the storm and keep in a positive frame of mind , however hard it may be , then next week or even the next day will bring a whole lot of different emmotions ! This is all part of that journey ! If you can treat everything on an even platform then some order begins to take shape in your irrational thinking ,and with that brings the ability for the recovery process to take shape ! So please hang in there and dont act on the negative feelings , its all part of the cycle , learn not to react , re programme yourself to adopt new habits to your anxiety , positive ones ! its the negatives that will keep you in the cycle , I was in it for 15 years , until i found this site and acted on the information , believe me it will all knit together , dont try to see how that will happen , just take everything thats thrown at you , and dont let it get you down ! trust in the process !! It works !! Have faith ! Paul Mc Hello everyone ! seems some are suffering quite intense anxiety symptoms at the moment .

I like the 'being in the disco' analogy as it can be very difficult staying calm and getting on with your day when all of these symptoms seem to be shouting at you! I know patience and time is the key but this can be very hard when you wake up every day feeling tense with a pounding heart! I haven't let anxiety change what I do and where I go in my life and I do try to get on with things but if you're not careful if can get you down dealing with this on a daily basis. Perhaps I haven't mastered the accepting thing yet?? I can very much relate to what Jules is saying as I feel similar at the moment.

I have been struggling even believing what I am experiencing is anxiety, the dp has come back and I feel I am never going to get better, thinking very negatively and feeling like I am going mad and loosing it. I think it took me a year or more to get into the anxiety and its been 8 months i've been suffering and can see times before that year that I had anxiety and didnt realise. I get pins and needles all over my body, even when I think I dont feel anxious and then that triggers the anxiety and I feel trapped. I feel it's tricked me right into the fear and feeling something terrible is wrong with me and something bad is going to come of this. I find it hard to 'accept' as it seems as if I ignore or try to live with the anxiety it will just get stronger and worse if I carry on doing the things i'm doing cos thats what got me into this mess in the first place, like I let this happen and let the anxiety build up like this. I find it very confusing and have been getting very down. Then I get disapointed with myself for pitying myself. i explained it to a friend like being in a disco with bright flashing lights and loud music and your supposed to act indifferent towards it to be able to just accept it i just get so scared of how i feel, its so silly. I'm sorry to go off on one. I'm going to read the book again. Jules Hey there

I think acceptance comes when you finally realise that this journey needs to take its course , regardless of its content and will reach its destination not when you would like it to but when the natural healing process is complete ! Thats why true acceptance , not forced ! is the only way , just step out of the way and take the trip ! Paul Mc Yeah Paul you are soo right about the journey !
