Hiya Maggie, yes things are going well for me. Sorry to hear you are having a rough patch. Hang in there it will get better again. As for the disability thing I have no idea. I agree with Danielle that it really depends where you live. Sorry I cannot be more helpful...Just wanted to say hi really and hang in there, this too shall pass :) -Diva

Maggie, Not sure as it varies a little everywhere. The best authority to ask would be your GP, therapist or a social worker. Danielle, Bilingual Support Specialist

Thanks so much Diva! Nice to see u on here still hunny. Hope all is well with you! Quick question: Does anyone here know if the government would ever grant someone 'disability' for panic disorder....it's just that things have been quite tough lately and i would like to know that if i needed a few months to focus on exposure work again, and get into a CBT program, that maybe I could do that??? Thanks so much. It's just a general wondering I have.

Hiya Maggie! Long time no see.I am sorry to hear about all the tough stuff you had to go through. Glad to see that you have a nice new b/f and stuff :)I can't take Celexa so I can't speak from personnal experience but I know pwoplw who have taken it and gotten very nice benefits from it. But as Casey has mentionned, you doctor is really the best person to talk to about this. Also, I like to talk to my pharmacist. They sometimes have very good knowledge of a medication and it's side effects and can give you good info. Anyway, hope this helps! -Diva

Hi maggie, Thanks for stopping by with this update. Congratulations on your own apartment and new job! These are great accomplishments!

[font=Georgia] Hiii all! I don't know if any of you remember me but I used to come around this site quite often a while ago now. I have been suffering with an anxiety disorder for about 3 years now and am still experiencing difficulties. I am no longer confined to the house (agoraphobic), although I am hesitant to leave at times to this very day. I don't have much time to write but just wanted some advice. About 3 months ago my b'f of 5 years and i broke up. I lost everything and had to move out. After a long hard journey, I finally found a nice new b/f and moved down to Toronto. I am not living on my own in a basement apartment and have actually landed a pretty nice office job as a sales rep for Rogers (at a call centre). Right now I am still in orientation (2 weeks long) and have actually made it through 3 days there without an actual Panic attack. I am very very very tired of the riding anxiety though. I have been taking 0.5 mg of lorazepam every morning before heading to work, and it's still been difficult. My doctor prescribed me Celexa at 20 mgs, Ihave tried it before and dont remember much about how i felt on it. I got that prescription filled today as I am stillhavinf major anxiety and attacks (esp. when i have to deal with authority or feel confined- like even dealing with my prescription itself at shoppers today). I was just wondering if any of you would advise me to stay away from the celexa for now and just keep on the lorazepam, or if you think the celexa might just help me THAT much more??? I don't want to take extra meds if it won't help with the anxiety much...what are your experiences??? Thank you so much. Any advice is much appreciated. Speak soon.[/font]

Matt, I am in the same boat as you. I have chest pains and the pounding heart almost daily and they scare the hell out of me. Like you, I have had tests done, EKG's and even an EP Study and all came out fine but I still fear that something must be wrong. I too have a small child, a 19 month old son, and I fear that I am going to die young and that my son will have to grow up without a mother. This is such a negative thought but I fear this every day. I have slowly learned that it is our anxiety that is feeding this irrational fear. If you've had tests done, chances are it is just your anxiety and so the program here will help you challenge those anxious thoughts. It helps alot but I still struggle with them. Right now I am mostly struggling with dizziness that I get daily and so I worry less about the chest pains. If it isn't one thing it will be something else when it come to anxiety ;-) You are not alone and I can totally relate. ~Isabella~

Matt, Just as your fellow members have mentionned, chest pain and tightness are common symptoms associated with high levels of anxiety. In addition to caffeine, your quit may also be triggering a temporary rise in anxiety. Again, this is temporary and it will pass. Quitting really is a great step not only towards better health but towards maintaining your anxiety at a manageable level. Please take the time to start working through our CBT program located in your session diary. Keep us posted and welcome aboard! Danielle ____________________ The PC Support Team

Thank you guys so much. I appreciate the advice. I never thought caffeine could be a trigger but I think im actually drinking way more coffee since i quit smoking a month ago. Maybe it could be as simple as cutting back.......maybe?? lol we will hope.

Hiya Matt 1- I responded to your panic in PEI post to say helo. 2- I wholeheartedly agree with Lorlee. What she told you is wise and is good advice. 3- Listne i have chext pain and very fast heart rate as part of my anxiety symptoms too. Since i relapsed it was very hard for me to not feel like i was dying of a heart problem. But i know now that it really is tied in to my anxiety. But the tightness and chest pain and the fear that comes with it i totally get that. You are not alone with that one.I also get the palpitations thing. I also have cut out caffeine and sugar as much as possible and it has helped. Also, just doing the CBT program here and getting my anxiety under control has helped a lot. Anyway, i am sorry you are having a hard time of it. My heart goes out to you. Hang in there. -Diva
