Whether you're suffering from panic attacks or care for someone who is, there's plenty to be shared and learned here. This blog will always be about hope, respect, motivation, identity, learning, recovery techniques and strategies, and recovery maintenance. Always remember, this blog was designed, and is managed, by a recovered panic disorder sufferer. Please help us make this a special place.
I began the coolest series of email exchanges with a 22 y.o. young man from Florida yesterday. He touched base with me after checking out the website and indicated he was in need of some immediate help re his panic/anxiety situation. As did I, he wanted immediate relief from his very frightening symptoms, but I had to slow him down. He was desperately grasping at straws for a quick-fix technique or two to get him over the hump. I had to convince him to reel it back a bit and listen to reason, as his desperation was only making matters worse for him. Fortunately, he listened and ended up ordering my Free Slice of the eWorkbook pie. In the midst of the horrible symptoms panic and anxiety generate we become pressed to find snap of the finger cures. This is counterproductive, as the ultimate solutions lie in understanding ourselves, and our pathology, and moving forward with the correct prospective. That's the key to lifelong relief, and measures of immediate relief, as well. Believe me, you'll more than live as you productively click your situation into management. Happy 4th, one and all! And Happy 233rd USof A! Bill
Does this individual experience 24/7 derealization and how long has he had it for? Logically I know what it is I have, but I can't seem to turn it off....my mind keeps saying not real and I keep telling it "real" but it does not stop....
Your dime, your dance floor. My only requests are to watch your language and really consider where people are coming from if you're directing comments at what someone's expressed.
