Welcome Joe!

I am glad you decided to post. You do not have to go through this alone.
 
Have you had a chance to start working on the program yet? If so, any thoughts so far?

Welcome Joe

You did a good job of writing what you want to say so why not write what you want to say to your Doctor. I did that with my Therapist.

I joined The Panic Center quite a while back when I was in the middle of a nasty relapse. Unfortunately, at the time I couldn't bring myself to post or even run through any of the Toolbox doohickies because simply going through the Anxiety Test nearly killed me.
 
I've had anxiety problems since mid 2009; however, I've never officially been diagnosed. I've tried talking to people, and I've tried speaking to a doctor for a referral, but every single time I have tried my words jumble and I downplay it like it's not really all that bad. Their response is that everyone gets anxiety and then we just laugh and laugh and kick myself for failing again.
 
The point of all that is, I don't want to do it alone anymore. I do have a few friends that know and try to understand, but I think it's time that I spoke with people that know from experience what it's like to have anxiety problems.
 
In any case, I'll stop here. I've never been too sure on what to do or say in introductions before, so... thanks for having me? Reading? Or something...
 
Hi, I'm Joe. :)
