Hi everyone im having another good day anxiety is pretty low today so i havnt been panicky i find if im heaps anxious then i panic more easily and outlaw it dosnt sound lame to me that your comforted by your g/friend or mom being around im like that when my husbands at home because i think that if anything did happen to me then he's here to help and that comforts me to know i wouldnt be alone thats why i think thats why i stay even when he treats me bad.Still havnt decided what to do about the meds though any advice???

Hi again Lou, Glad to hear you're having a better day. Bit of a tricky situation about the meds. I can understand why your therapist is wanting you to stay on 50mg. I think it is important to learn to cope with this using CBT I think that is probably the biggest thing that will help in dealing with this. I found that it is something you have to be very focused on and practice every single day, and try to be aware of what you are doing that is negative - that I found to be the tough part! I found medication does help but I want to be able to cope without it or with very little of it which is what I'm doing. I dont' know if being on medication will control it totally, I've never found meds to take away the panic completely, all the higher doses did to me was make me fall asleep all the time! Obviously I can't tell you what to do but I seem to relate a lot to your situation. Also with your relationship with your husband, its the same as mine with my ex and I'm so glad I got out of it because I was really getting stuck in that emotional abusive cycle with him. Anyway I won't babble on anymore I hope sharing my personal experiences with you helps a bit and just know that having this doesn't make you inferior in any way, inside you're still that strong independent person so don't forget who you really are!!

Hi everyone thankyou all so much for your compassion and understanding i really dont know how i would cope if it wasnt for you guys.I am having a much better day today.My husband and i are hardly on speaking terms he has just done so much to hurt me this past year im not sure how to forgive him and move on everytime he does something he apologises and promises he'll never do it again but he always does how do you know when enough is enough?I was such a strong and independant person only a few short weeks ago now i'm like a frightened little child who cant stand on her own two feet.Ive been on zoloft 50mg for 6 weeks now but my doc has just increased it to 100mg to see if that helps bring my anxiety down a bit more however my psychologist wants me to stay with 50mg because he wants me to cope using the CBT so i dont know what to do there either.Decisions decisions! Thanks again guys. Lou.

If your husband is not supportive you may be experiencing the effects of "bullying.' Thie site does not allow us to post other sites, Best wishes, Cathie

sorry I had one more thing to say. You said that you pretend you're not home when friends come around. When I got panic disorder when I was 17 I did the same thing. I pushed all my friends away and haven't really had any friends in the almost ten years since then! Looking back I wish I had told then what was happening, they would have understood, it is one of the biggest mistakes I made and it made for a very very lonely life. Maybe if you have a friend that was quite close you might want to confide in them, they may be more understanding that you realise. You need support especially since your husband isn't helping you!

Hi Lou, Are you on any medication at all? Up until about two months ago I was in a similar sort of situation. I lived 3 hours from my family and had no friends where I was living just a lot of bad memories to put up with. But I was lucky I had a supportive partner and he understood that it was the little things that helped me, he would always turn on his cell phone as soon as he got in the car because he knew I would panic if I couldn't contact him in the half hour it took him to get to work - I never did phone him it was just knowing that I could if I needed too. Anyway I moved back to where my family are a few months ago with my fiance so things became easier again, but when I was away I found it terrifying being alone all day so I went on medication and it really took the edge off and I didn't have as many panic attacks on my own and could function better. Take Care, I hope you have a better day today :)

Hey Ruby before i got this panic i wouldve been able to take on the world now i cant even drive my kids to school im just a shell of the person i was and i want to get better but i dont see a light at the end of the tunnel. Im scared for what the future holds for me and the kids because i have more bad days than good and i think negatively about everything and when i try to be positive i always end up negative somehow.aghh.Sorry im having really bad day tomorrow will be a better day(i hope). I went for a few days without a panic and the last couple of days i have had heaps so im a bit bummed out about that.

Hi lou, I just tryed to post you a post I had written and then it wiped it. The reason I asked you if your husband worked or not is because If your husband did work then you have been doing it on your own. You need to think [b]POSTIVE[/b]. Ruby..........
