Hey Nicole! Good for you darn it! Good for you! Please take the time to REALLY appreciate your success. Do you realize what you have done? You have confronted head on, a very fearful situation and go through to the other side! Now that's something to celebrate girl! You will need to draw upon this amazing strength of yours at other times too. Try to write down your thoughts and feelings both before and after this experinence so you can truly remember. Disect your anticipatory thoughts, what was your catastrophic thinking, what was your fear level starting out and what did feel like to arrive. WOW! Thanks for sharing that great success story! Made my day! Danielle :-)

Nicole I think anytime you can push yourself...and, at times, beyond even where you expected to push yourself, it builds confidence. The more you practice that, the easier it becomes. To me, it's like falling off a bicycle and getting back on. The longer we avoid it, the more powerful the fear becomes. Sounds as it you've given yourself some reasonable goals and are approaching your situation wisely. Pat yourself on the back!! But please listen to those who have experience with meds and how to avoid coming off them without the advice of your doctor...and having a possible setback.. Let us know how you are progressing!! :)

Nicole, I am so happy for you! You are now on the road to recovery. There will be bumps in the road, but just keep thinking positive and you will be ok. One word of advice though, don't go off of your medication yet. You haven't even been on it long enough to receive the full benefits of it. I had to learn the hard way, I took Zoloft for 2 months started feeling better and quit taking it and had a horrible setback. Don't do that to yourself, plan on staying on your meds for awhile. I don't know what it is but all of us who suffer from panic and anxiety always want to stop taking our medication as soon as we start feeling better it's as if not wanting to be dependent on a medication is a symptom of GAD and PD. But trust me you'll be glad you stayed on it. Keep us posted on your progress.

So...I went on my little adventure today...I had to leave class early to go, and while I was in class I was so anxious. i was shaking so bad. But as soon as I got into my car, I felt fine. When I got on the highway, I felt so free...kind of like the faster I went, the more I was driving out the panic and fear(dont worry I wasnt speeding). I got in the area a little early so I decided to conquer another fear...remember how I said I was afraid to go home because that was where I had one of my worst panic attacks? Well, I went home today and I was fine!!! I feel so proud of myself...not only did I prove to myself that I am ok while driving, but I pushed myself that much further and proved to myself that I would be ok when I went home. Also, my therapist is great. My whole family has gone to him in the past so he understood alot of what I talked about. This has been a great day for me. Now I know, when or if anyone in our situation asks me if they are going to be ok, that I can say yes with complete conviction. I know that if I want to be better, I have to confront my fear because nothing bad will happen. I really appreciate everything you all have told me. You all helped me so much. I really hope that we can all keep talking and helping each other...I know that I am not completely better yet and I know I will need more help along the way, and now I know you all will be there to support me and vise versa. Thank you!!!!!

Thank you everyone for your input and support. Everything that you said made me feel alot better. I have the doctor's appointment tomorrow at 4:30 and I will be thinking about everything each of you had told me. Danielle~I have been keeping in mind what you said about seeing myself succeeding in my trip rather than panicing during it. That has really helped me so much. I checked the weather for tomorrow and its going to be nice so I just tried to think about how nice it will be to take a drive with the nice weather. When I get back tomorrow, I'll post how it went. Thank you again to everyone!

i decided tonight that i am going to face my panic from now on because i want to beat it, and to beat it is to face that it is real and present and let it coexist with you. I believe that panic wins when we run from it...it also gets worse. 8p

Hi Nicole, What you are talking about now, the dread, is called ANTICIPATORY ANXIETY and for me, it is almost worse than a panic attack because it lasts a very very long time. I'm not a doctor but I do have many many years of experience with PA's and my advice to you is ... 1. If you have been put on meds recently and they are really helping you, take this opportunity to learn some COGNITIVE BEHAVIOUR techniques with your therapist. Not just learn them, (I did that for years) but REALLY REALLY work them. You may need to medication for a while yet. It is there to help you avoid unnecessary suffering. 2. Try to spend some time in deep relaxation'seeing' yourself succeed in your trip rather than visualizing panic and dread. 3. Try to deal with EACH episode of panic rather than a 'whole' trip. That can be very overwhelming. Good luck and let us know how it goes. Danielle

Hi Nicole, Welcome to this wonderful site. Firstly, speak to your doctor before you come off your medication. He will discuss withdrawal with you and advise whether you should be coming off them yet as you havent been on them too long. Therapy works for some people - give it ago and see how you feel. You havent been suffering from panic attacks for too long (although long enough), so it will probably help you tremendously. Have you started the Panic Program yet? Let us know how you are getting on.

I have recently been diagnosed with a panic disorder(3 weeks ago). It was the scariest thing in the world. I had no idea where I was and everything felt like a dream...like I wasn't really there. I thought that it would last forever. I tried to fight it off by myself because I thought if i talked about it, then it would be worse because I would aknowledge it. Finally, I broke down and could't stop crying and I went to the doctor and he put me on Lexapro. There were side effects for a while, but now I am ok. The problem is, is that I am away at school so now my apartment has become my "comfort zone". I have to drive 30 minutes away from my school on Thursday to go to a therapist(finally)and I am so scared. I also have to go home for spring break this weekend and I am even scared to go home because I had one of my worst panic attacks there about 3 weeks ago(before I went to the doctor.)The change of scenery has me totally freaked out, and I have come so far from where I was 3 weeks ago and I don't want to backtrack at all. Does anyone have any advice? Also, I want to get off the meds asap...will I go through withdrawls? And one more question...does therapy help alot? HOw long does it take to work? Sorry for so many questions but I was so overly excited that I found this wedsite today becasue I have no one to talk to about this...and I felt so alone...thanks for listening!
