Does it ever go away for good?

for 21 år siden 0 +0 / -0 132

katie, I posted a similar question a while back. I wish I knew if it would ever go away. I feel like if I knew I only had to deal with it for some time then I'd get better, it would be so much easier to take, instead of thinking I have to deal with this FOREVER. I am 26yrs old & a long way from retirement but my husband & me already have plans to see this country when we're older & retired. I am already worrying that I won't be able to do that. (TALK ABOUT ANTICIPATORY ANXIETY..haha) Anyway I don't have an answer but I do have the same question. Will it ever be gone for good? This site is basically the only place I've ever talked with others who understood & told their own stories. I never knew before that people with this disorder have years of "narmalcy" & then relapse again & It scares me to hear that it gets worse with every setback too. However, I have my worries but I'm trying not to concentrate on all of them. I am really trying to think more positive & let go of some of the worries. Anyway hope everyone is feeling well, Chanda

hi Katie, well for me i've had PD for 10 years. it came and went, depending on my what was happening at that time in my life. i never took meds until about 3 years ago.prior to that it went away for about 6 years till it hit me hard out of no where on the highway. it got really bad and i was afriad to tell anyone until i met a friend who was a psy dr. she told me to get theropy which i did not and meds which i did. so finally after 3 years on meds i have my first appointment with a psy dr saturday. will it help? i am not a firm believer in it and i have no health insurance but i will try it anyway.if it works i'll let you know. hang in there it does get better and as Mike said if the meds work and you have no symptoms stay with it....christina :)

Maybe it will always be there; a part of who we are; at least those with complicated cases; but I believe that as time goes on with me anyway, if I am on my medications, I can cope with it much better. Life is much better than without. I guess that is something to be happy about. And also, facing fears helps or empowers one too. And if we know others with the same problems, that helps too. WE ARE NOT ALONE!

Katie, you definatley don't sound whiny. This disorder is so hard to take! I hear where you're coming from!! This bout of mine is still strong and it's been 9 months. Talking about symptoms and our feelings makes it a bit easier to cope!! You can whine to me anytime as long as you don't mind me whining back ha ha Take care!!

Katie, I have heard from doctors that yes some never do have relapses, those are the ones that you dont find posting on the board sadly enough, some of us will go years with waxs and wanes, with remission for some years and then a relapse (I fit this category), some get just about over it and suffer a setback. Don't lose hope. Trish

Good luck Rhonnie! Thanks for your response. I don't mean to sound whiny, I'm just looking for answers. I guess I know in my mind that this is something I'll always have to deal with. I'll just try to take something new away from every setback. It just seems, sometimes, like, "Oh, no. Not this again." Every time it comes back it seems harder for me to fight it. I catch myself thinking what's the point if it's just going to come back again. It's very frustrating and kind of depressing. I'm doint semi-OK now, but I kind of get the feeling it's always lurking and waiting to come back. Anyway, your response means a lot. It's good to know there are others out there who know how I feel.

Hi Katie I'm not sure if it goes away for good. I had it bad 6 yrs ago then it went away with only a few panic attacks in between and now it's back with a vengence!! I think (with me anyway) that I'll always have it but not in extreme cases. I took a CBT program at the hospital and I'm going to keep up with what I learned so I'll be prepared!!

I guess no responses would be a "no" from the group. Katie

I've been suffering from PD for about 25 years now. Every time I think I've beaten it, it creeps back into my life. It seem like it's harder to get through it every time it comes back. Does it ever go away for anyone or will it always be there? Katie
