Long time ago, before I knew anything about panic attacks, I figured out that I was basically "fearing" fear. It sounds so stupid, but that's how I feel sometimes. If you think about it, you are actually fearing an emotion or feeling, and a feeling can't hurt you. It's not real. A feeling can be changed. Reality, such as the weather, cannot be changed. I'm working hard not to be afraid of fear, somedays are better than others. I agree about positive thinking. A book called "The Power Of Positive Thinking" by Norman Vincent Peale has been very helpful to me. And I was a hard case, positive thinking took a very long time for me to start to master. Practicing it is what helps in the long run. Do it whether you think it's working or not. Remember you aren't alone, I understand how you feel very well.[font=Comic Sans MS][/font][font=Courier New][/font][font=Comic Sans MS][/font][font=Comic Sans MS][/font]
