Thanks Kelly, its good to know all my babbling is helping some people. :) I have been doing well since I last checked in. No anxiety problems and I am sleeping pretty well. I did a home project today and listened to some music. Tonight I plan on watching a movie with the Mrs. A test is coming soon. I have a business trip that I must go on this month. It will be two days away from all my comforts. I have purchased a personal CD player so that I can still do my meditation while on the road. I will be rooming with my boss and he is aware of my situation so I know he will allow me the time to do what I need. I am actually kind of looking forward to getting away for a few days. I think I am prepared and ready...bring it on! :) Have a great day everyone. Mike

I'll tell you Mike, I have been following your posts and they are most inspiring. I had been doing pretty well, but for some reason seem to be relapsing this week. Just reading your posts inspires me - you should write a book - I am going to do your suggested post tomorrow morning and see if it helps - I'll try anything at this point. I am tempted to call my doc, but the thought of trying yet another medicine just scares me to death! But the thought of going back to where I was with the panic attacks and depression scares me even more. I just received the copy of Lucina Bassett's book from Panic to Power in the mail today - I am anxious to get started on it - I've heard it is wonderful! Take care and here is to a good night's sleep (which I could sure use!)

Adele, Thanks for the pep talk! :) I was just being my usual sarcastic self. I do tend to procrastinate some but Im not really lazy (well maybe on the weekend :)) and my butt isnt fat, though it does seem to like chairs an awful lot. Hahaha I had some fun at the office party yesterday, I got to be the D.J. My musical tastes are quite ecclectic to put it mildly and the entire crowd seemed amused that I would have such a wide variety of music to play. I went from Steely Dan to Hank Williams to Fat Boy Slim to Cab Calloway. I sat and chatted with my co-workers and had a good time. No anxiety yesterday. My schedual is full of meetings today (more of my butt in a chair :)) and this is one of the situations that I am thankful for the Effexors non-drowsy attributes! Hahaha So, hi-ho hi-ho its off to work I go (I am whistling the other part now, use you imagination) and I am going to have a great day. If any of you out there reading want to have a great day start it off by posting a short message in this thread. Just type the words...[b]I'm going to have a great day along with Mike[/b]. That may be a real positive step...you never know. Thanks for reading. Mike

Mike Mike..... "lazy slob" "Fat Butt" whats that about? Give your butt a break. Your butt, like the rest of you, has been a little busy recovering from panic disorder. So you missed the due date for paying a fine. So what?. You are resourseful enough to able to rectify the situation easily so give yourself a break. Just remember, your subconsious hears everything you say about yourself so play nice. You are a great, fabulous, brilliant, strong and resourseful guy giving all of us here a little hope and determination. see the gospel according to lucinda bassett chapter 8 I'm glad you had an otherwise great day :)

I had a great day yesterday. Some stress came upon me when I thought I had neglected a traffic citation too long and was going to actually have to go down to the traffic division office. I have hated that place since even BEFORE I suffered anxiety. Lucky for me they have this new thing called the internet. It will allow lazy slobs like me to pay traffic fines and take driving school courses from the comfort of my fat butt in my chair! :) Aint life great? My therapy went well yesterday, I am feeling much better...energized. There is an office party this afternoon, I am going to attend! I look forward to each day, have begun watching movies and listening to music again (I am a film and music buff) and I even look forward to crossing some things off my "honey-do" list. Life is gradually getting better. Have a great relaxing stress free day. Mike

I had another good day yesterday. I did have a problem sleeping last night because of some odd dreams. They were a mixture of real life issues that are actually happening and some typical dream stuff that seems to have no basis in anything. Very disconcerting. Still, I woke in good spirits (tired though) and with a good attitude about life. Today is therapy day. Im not sure what demons we will tackle, but I say...bring them on! I am now only using the Xanax to sleep. I am still using 150mgs of Effexor every morning. My goal is to get about 12 weeks anxiety free under my belt and then consult with the psych about tapering the medication down slowly. I'd like to be med free and anxiety free by the holidays. That is my new goal. I invite you all to have a wonderful day along with me. Mike

My package of electronic nature arrived Saturday. I was very pleased with the order. I now have a variety of soothing CD's to choose from in my nightstand drawer. Last night I used ocean waves. I got one that has an "outdoors in the woods" theme. Owls hooting, some animals grunting and a mosquito flying around your head. I wont be using that particular track. I tried it one afternoon and slapped myself several times trying to swat that mosquito. The weekend went very well and I am still anxiety free. This week looks to be low stress at work so I expect to continue on the road to recovery. I takled to another friend yesterday and found out she also suffers from anxiety. I am constantly amazed at how many people have this. One would think that a greater emphasis would be placed on this by the healthcare industry. Still, I suppose someone must seek treatment for them to realize how widespread it is and many people with anxiety do not want to admit it or talk about it. Sad for them. Anyway, on a bright note...the sun is shining, I am feeling good and I look forward to a day filled with laughter and frolic. OK, so I may not frolic but I am going to laugh. Join me please. Mike

Yesterday went smoothly. I had something occur last night that normally would have triggered some anxiety and I was able to say "I will sleep on that and deal with it in the morning"...and I did just that. It was a combination of confrontation and postponment. I agreed to deal with it at a specific time rather than allowing [b]IT[/b] to determine when I would deal with it. I feel this is a major step into recovery. It was almost as if I slapped it around and said "I'll take care of you on my schedule, get out of here now and let me enjoy what i'm doing". I tell you it was a good feeling. It is probably not possible to do that with everything that arises, some stresses need immediate attention. But feeling the power to tell it I was in charge will help me to also be in charge when the immediate responses are called for. When I woke this morning I dealt with it in a calm and sensible way and much differently than I would have if I had taken care of it last night. I made a great decision to mull it over and the end results were that I felt empowered and the issue was handled in a much better way. I turned a possible setback into a win-win situation. Excuse me while I puff out my chest. :) Still no [b]SOOTHING SOUNDS[/b] have arrived. ;) Maybe today. Oh yes, and one more thing. Yesterday I went Xanax free until bedtime (I still need it to sleep). Here's to an anxiety free day for everyone! Mike

missdjrane, I would not presume to advise you on medication applications. You must consult your physician for that. I can tell you that it took several weeks for the Effexor to have a noticable positive effect on me and I did suffer anxiety attacks during that period (though not as severe as yours seem to be). I used Xanax as a "buffer" drug to help with the anxiety during the introduction period. I strongly urge you to talk to the doctor that prescribed the medications. Tell him/her exactly what is going on and heed their advice. Everyone is different, what works for me may not help you at all. Good luck and whatever you do, dont give up hope. Mike
