anne marie i think what has happened to me is my son is a paronoid sczophrenic[pobably didnt spell this right] and it seems like whenever i get on the phone i never know whats on the other end. even thinking about using thephone at times i get really anxious. my anxiety level is fairly high at times. i also have menieres disease which doesnt help. i dont work im retired from my job so i dont know what or why i have panic attacks early in the a m . thank you for replying to my post.

IT's sometimes difficult to pinpoint, but for instance, what thoughts go through your mind when you're on the phone? Fear of something usually set it off. Can you elaborate on what it is you fear? Can the early morning ones be triggered by the thought of going to work? Do you have as many on weekends or days off, for instance?

how can you do exposure work when you dont know what causes your panic attacks? ive tried and tried to figure out what causes mine[especially early morning ones] with no success. i think the ones i get during the day are trigured by just thinking about them,being on the phone,etc. any ideas on this?
