Driving where there is no shoulder

PhidlDD, I just wanted to clarify the post I sent you. The dry run can be done in stages as mentioned before. However, keep the relaxation techniques for when you are at home and feeling the panic. You do need to be alert and aware when driving or just being in the car. I read over my post and it was not clear, thus I am clarifying for you. Sorry, Josie This message was edited by Josie, Support Specialist on 6/3/2004 @ 10:09:14 AM

Moca, You have come to the right place! Please feel free to roam the site at your own pace. If you look to the left of the screen under "TOOLS" you will find many supportive tests. These tests are not diagnostic tools and are not a replacement or substitute for a physician's advice. The purpose of these tests is to prepare you with information that you can present to your physician. When you're finished the test, you can either print your Final Report or email it directly to your doctor. We also have developed a Panic Program. This program is 12-weeks and involves the tools mentioned above. Each session is based on the previous session, so we strongly advise that you work slowly through the program and not jump ahead. If you have any question or concerns with our €œTOOLS€, you can contact us at support@paniccenter.net. We are the Support Specialist for The Panic Center and are open to any questions or concerns you may have. Looking forward to hearing from you soon! Josie

PLEASE HELP ME!

Blondie, Your first course of action should be the doctor's office. If this is an ongoing pain, you should explain it to the doctor, and perhaps he will recommend anything and everything to get to the bottom of the pain. Try taking it easy for a little while, until you figure out what the deal is. Hang in there, Josie

Having a bad day again

Sammi, Have you tried our Panic Program, to the left of your screen, under "tools"? Many of our supporters have raved of it's helpfulness. We also have a "Reference Tool" for Exposure Therapy. This tool is also very helpful, keep in mind: 1. Doing exposure work is hard. We hope that the support group will help make doing exposure work a bit easier. 2. Learning how to do exposure work isn't easy either. It takes time to figure out what works for you. It takes time to figure out what causes you some anxiety but not too much. Again, we hope that people use the support group to help each other figure out how to do this. 3. Exposure work is not the same as "Just Doing It". The key difference is that exposure exercises are planned in advance and exposure exercises are designed to make you somewhat anxious but not too anxious. Also in exposure work you stay in the situation long enough or repeat the exposure exercise often enough to experience a decrease in fear. When people "Just Do It" they tend to get in and out of the situation as quickly as possible. As a result, they never experience a decrease in fear, and so they never unlearn their anxiety. Our support group is also a wonderful asset to tap into. They are a group of knowledgeable and supportive people, who have lots of experience to draw from. Please keep posting your thoughts, Josie
