I find it is hard to trust when good things happen to me. I keep thinking what's the catch, and can it really be true. It's like i have "too good to be true syndrom" lol. But I am working on that. I am working on trusting myself, other, life, the world. I find if i challenge my thoughts about not accepting good stuff in my life i feel a lot better. Accepting that life does sometimes give you a break means you don't have to wory about all the good things on top of the bad things lol. Anyway, i find the thought challenging tools i got on here really do help with that :) I am learning, lately that any anxious or negative thought of anykind can be challenge from one angle or another lol. Anyway, all this to say yes, i have some form of trust issues still but I am working hard on that! -Diva

I think I know the bottom of my panic disorder. About 25 years ago, I lost my Dad to cancer, my Grandfather committed suicide and then my Dad's business partner died suddenly, this all happened within one month in December, right before Christmas. This all hit me like a brick wall. But you think you've grieved enough or you're done and you carry on, but when I met my husband, it started, the panic and anxiety. Thinking that this guy is too good to be true and he to will leave just like my Dad did. (I was 18 when my Dad died). And from that point on, any new and exciting thing that would come up, I couldn't get excited about because I had to put up the brick wall to guard myself against any sadness/loss. I have 3 beautiful boys and adoring and supportive husband and it's hard to get excited. It's the trust issue. Do you find this hard, the trusting your instincts? thanks for listening.

Yeah, some traumatic events can definitely cause problems years down the road. However, while knowing the source of the problem is kinda nice, I think what's cool about this program is that you don't have to know for sure why you're having issues to be able to fix them. We can't change what has happened in the past, but we can learn to identify, understand, and challenge unhealthy thought patterns and behaviors now and in the future. So if you're not sure what caused you to start having these problems, I'm not sure it really matters. I, for one, have no idea where mine got started - but since I've started this program I have made amazing progress. It's a process, for sure, but it's one that has very real and positive results!

Thanks Diva, it is very much appreciated what you say. I was at my doctors last week about this and I'm going to my counsellor's not until early May (which I guess is not that far away), and I've started doing the program here, just printed off everything. I know I'm ok (semi-convincing), but I know (hopefully), I'll be ok. Guess I have to work on the confidence and trust in what I say (ha, ha). Thank you again.

Hiya Mary! 1-I believe many things old and new can affect how you feel today. 2- I was wondering if you have consulted a health care professional about this and gotten a diagnostic for what you are going through. If so, well nevermind lol but if not, there is a great anxiety test you can take on this website which you can then print and bring to your doctor and it is a good tool for helping him understand how you are feeling. Anyway, just thought I would mention it. 3- That is just one of the many wonderful tools on this site. I recommend you look around at them, they really are helpful. I also recommend you give the 12 week CBT program a try, it has been helping me greatly and I bet it can help you too. :) If you are seeing a therapist he can help you along with the program. I doubt this program interferes with therapy. I know my therapist likes that I am doing this program and helps me along when I get really stuck lol. 4- I wanted to say Hello! And Welcome to the forums! You will find really great people on these forums. They are super nice and understanding and supportive! Anyway, I have rambled at you enough, so welcome to the forums and I hope you get as much out of this website as I have :) -Diva

I'm new here, but not new to panic attacks and anxiety. Just trying to figure this all out. Can something that happened 25 years ago, affect how you are now and how you react to things...maybe this is where I start?
