The thing with me is that I do not have panic attacks without any reason anymore. When it all started, I had panic attacks almost every day and because of no reason. Now I somehow have learned how to deal with them I don't have them anynmore. Now I have only 1 essential fright- flying by planes because of claustrophobic feeling. But what I have come to is that I am no more stressed about no possibility to escape from a plane, get out of it but because of my hands tingling. I somehow concentrate on this unpleasant feeling.
When I have a little panic, my hands start to tingle and when I have a strong panic, they tingle so much it's VERY unpleasant. I am feeling like dying. lol
So, all the previous years I have fought with my anxiety step by step. It is my motto- step by step! It helps. Now only 1 fear is left (my biggest one). I do really hope that I will overcome it but at the moment I am quite afraid! When I see a plane in the sky, I am observing it (lol) and imagining that I am there. Very often my hands are sweaty just because of thinking.
Hey Madara!
Just wanted to let you know that I am a life long panicker. I took Paxil for 7 years and other types of relaxers but the panic never went away until I started challenging my anxious thoughts. The program will teach you how to do that.
I still have anxiety some days, but not nearly as bad as it was, and not nearly as often. When it does pop up, I start to challenge the thoughts with the info I have learned here, and it does help. It is not instant, but keep at it and I promise it will help!!

Thanks.
Now I got that. I am now in session 3 and I have already printed out 10 questions which are advised to challenge anxiety.
I will try to work with them! I don't know how they will work for me because I am really stressed, low and unhappy before my travel by plane which is in May. I feel like I cannot make myself free of this inner pressure. I know, it will end when I overcome my claustrophobic feeling at an airplane. Only then...:(( But till that...:(
Madara,
The second and third session of the program will help you in this area. Session 2 will help you understand anxious thoughts and session three will teach you how to challenge them.

I've read here and heard from others that it is advisable to challenge anxiety (for example, when panic starts). What is meant by "challenge anxiety"? Is like I am saying to myself :"OK, I am afraid. I feel anxiety. Come anxiety, show me what you are etc.?" lol :D
Does it work for you?
