Good Morning :),
Just wanted to respond to all the positive support that is seen within our online support group. We often feel that as soon as we start CBT we will see results. When these results do not happen we may get discouraged and then break the learning cycle. Remember, we need to take baby steps in order to challenge our anxiety or panic. It is important to continue to face these challenges.
Talk to your doctor, post your questions and most importantly, remember that you are not alone! As you all can see you have supported one another and continue to do so each and every day!
Please continue to post your thoughts and concerns with CBT and the challenges you face!
Way to go everyone!
Melanie

Hi there,
I just wanted to say, when I started my CBT and really focused on getting better, my anxiety was worse (much worse) before it got better. It seems when you really start to focus on changing your thought patterns and working with exposure, the anxiety comes back very hard but will then dissipate gradually. Its like breaking through a wall of panic, it is horrible while doing it but then it feels so good once you break through. Just hang in there and try to not get discouraged! Be proud of yourself for attempting to get better and going to therapy.
Good luck!

Moca, did you identify the thoughts that led to the panic in the hair salon? If not, you probably would be better off with some medications, until you can figure out what is leading to them. That is what this program is all about, finding out why you are panicking. I feel the way Bygrace feels, that once I found some meds that helped, if not totally cured me, I never wanted to stop taking something again and go back to the panic, except when I had side effects that were unbearable, and then I just tried something new. Perhaps CT will help over time too, but medications help also if you are getting worse.
You know what..let me tell you, once you find a medication that works for you, you will feel so much better and this anxiety and panic will be gone, if not completely then very very seldom and nothing to the level you are use to. It took me over a year of trying everything and finally getting on medication and I cannot IMAGINE EVER going back to feeling like i did before the med. I take Lexapro, once a day, it works like a charm for me and I will stay on it for any amount of time it will take before I go back to those panic attacks!
Hi Moca,
Rhonnie is so right...it isn't easy and it definitely isn't fast. I do take med's and have for several months. I got really frustrated because I didn't see any change either but now I am beginning to see everything in a more positive light. After having not being excited about life in general I have become very excited about my future...a future without too much anxiety and very little panic. I say that because I have learned some useful tools to put everything into perspective when I feel a little antsy. I have to tell you after not having a panic attack for months I had a TERROR of one the other day on the road to pick up a friend in town. I was in a bit of a time crunch and I think that's what brought it on...I had to take a xanax to calm myself down. So I guess for all of us there may be more panic battles down the road! Hang in there and keep posting.

Hey Moca I hear what you're saying!! I take a CBT class at the hospital. There's only a couple of classes left and I feel I'm not even close to being "cured" It's a lot of work but I know If I continue with the stuff I learned, I will get better but it isn't easy and it isn't fast. Try not to be discouraged and keep on with the program you WILL get better!! Take Care
hay everyone,
I am a little discouraged in fact very discouraged I am in the process of completing the home for sessions 2, 3 of the panic program. I am also working with my therapist. But to be honest I don't see any results. In fact it appears as if my anxiety is getting worst. For example today at the hair salon I had one of the worst attack ever, deep breathing nothing worked. When I got home i was so distraught I cried and cried, because my anxiety has taken over my life, even the things i enjoy it has control over. I really don't want to start medication but I am afraid that CBT may not work for me, and in the past medications have made me really sick so I'm kinda in a no win situation. Thanks for listening to better yet reading I really needed to get that out.
