Anxious, Have you taken the anxiety test? This may better help assess the situation and you can give a copy to your doctor for further review. Keep Strong, Josie _______________________________ The Panic Center Support Team.

Hi Angel. Thanks for the words of wisdom. I've been feeling a little better lately off and on (although I'm starting to think that some of what I feel has a lot to do with my period because my symptoms seem to worsen around that time). I do feel excited sometimes when I think about a new home and all the wonderful things I can do with it and if I just let go long enough from the anxiety, I almost feel normal again, LOL. By the way, are you a Torontonian too? Keep in Touch!!

Hi Anxious in Toronto! I totally get anxious when there is any CHANGE. It can be the smallest change ever and i feel like its the biggesttt deal. Even, for example, if i'm in the car with my family and we are going to dinner somewhere. If I know the way to get there, I feel more comfortable that i know the directions etc....but if he changes the route that he takes....i freak out. I start to get panicky cause i don't know this new route. I know it sounds funny, but this used to make me so nervous. I am getting better at these small changes. However, big changes do make me nervous. i really dont' know how to deal with them. I guess its a matter of training ourselves to not make such a big deal. There is a book called "don't sweat the small stuff." Its pretty interesting and gives some good suggestions for being more easy going. But then again, we have a hard time to just take things easy lol. I really suggest just calming yourself down and having time for yourself. Try meditating or something. Just think to yourself that moving is a wonderful thing! U will have a fresh new home in a matter of one week. Yes it will be tiring moving everything....but thats totally normal....millions of people in the world are moving right this second....everyone does it eventually! But once you settle in, everything will be just fine! Try to positive talk! Make this task a fun one. Let moving be FUN! Try to find the joy in moving to a new bright home. Just practice! It will make you feel better! If there is anything i can do to help, let me know! U probably live around the corner hehehe. byeeee

I too am a creature of habit. When even the smallest of changes happen my anixiety level rises. I just try to take it one day at a time , one hour at a time, Ifind if I do that I can usually get through it.

I am the type of person who once I get used to a certain situation or environment, gets really anxious and panicky when change occurs. I don't deal well with change and am basically a creature of habit. I think that if I am going along in life and everything is ok, once something changes, I won't be able to keep going and instead will panic. For instance, I am now in the situation where I must move. This was not planned and happened out of the blue so I am completely unprepared in every way. When I think about moving I start to feel this feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach. I can't explain it, but when I get this feeling I start to feel really depressed. When I get really depressed I start to panic that this feeling will never go away. Deep down somewhere I know that the move will be stressful, but a week or two later I will begin to become settled again and this will all just be a memory, but how do I get myself from here to there? Has anyone else's anxiety recurred because of a change of some sort? If so, how did you deal with it? I just wanted to thank everyone for your replies to my posts so far. I really feel comforted by being able to share my thoughts with people who understand and really care. Thank you! Thank you!
