Lisa, I can relate to that. When my panic was bad all my muscles were in knots. It is worse in my shoulders and upper back. I make myself relax!! I have even got a massage when it was really bad. I counted that as a reward for a job well done. Today try and concentrate on how you are sitting, standing, driving. When your in a face to face conversation are you ridgid? Relax your shoulders, take deep breaths. When you are driving are you gripping the wheel so tight? Try it today. Let me know how it is going. Have a Happy Easter! Shannon

Hi Guys! Well I've made it through another day :) Even with all my fears, I am very excited about learning and meeting new people. It's been a long time and yes, I am very proud of myself for taking that step. I just plan to take things one day at a time. I have a question for anyone who may have some advice for me... Does anyone else experience HUGE tension most of the time? I find that my anxiety is worse when I am not moving about. Standing in line or just talking with someone in one position really brings on my Panic and anxiety. I find that when I relax (try to relax) at night I get real anxious and irritable. My muscles are so tight through the day that when my body tries to relax I experience muscle spasms and tremors in my upper body. It's horrible! Anyone feel this way or could this be a symptom of something else? Any input would be great! Love you all!!! Lisa

Congratulations Lisa!! I knew you could do it! I agree with Shannon you need to reward yourself. In the program that I am currently following they say to reward yourself everyday even if you only do one small thing to try overcome this disorder. If you love bubble baths, chocolate ice cream, watching a certain video or whatever your heart desires you have to tell yourself when you wake up in the morning that at the end of the day you are going to give yourself that reward and through out the day whenever the negative thoughts try to creep into your mind you just think about that reward and it will be a way to replace the negative with a positive. Let us know how things go tomorrow, I'll be thinking about you and keeping you in my prayers.

Hey everyone, I DID IT!!! At first I had a hard time getting out the door. But as soon as I was introduced to my co-workers I felt better. Everyone was so nice to me. All the way to work I kept telling myself that I can do this, and that nothing is as bad as you may think. Having social anxiety and fear of large rooms, I did really well. I took note of all my exits...just in case I needed to get out. But I did great, and I am so proud of myself for not backing out of this. Today was a good day and I will take it one day at a time. Thank you everyone for your encouragement it really helped me alot by focusing on all of your words. I feel like I am no longer alone, and that I have good friends here that understand me. Thank you all for your kindness! Keep in touch. I'd love to hear from you. Lisa
