New here, but a long time anxiety sufferer


11 years ago 0 15 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
Hi, 
I had my first panic attack 24 years ago, then one everyday after for about two months. I've been on and off medications, and have gone for periods of time with no attacks. It has been bad for most of this last year. Panic attacks and just every day unsettled, skin crawling anxiety. I've lost about 25 lbs since February. I am doing everything my doctor suggests, eating well, (as much as I can) exercising, even when I don't want to, meditating... My therapist is doing mindfulness therapy with me, but I came across this sight, and will ask her about it in my next appointment. The program seems reasonable except that I don't know what causes my anxiety. I'm okay going places, home alone or with people. I don't enjoy big crowds, small spaces, or clowns, but I don't have an attack when exposed to them. I'm hoping going through this work can help me understand why I have this. I'm very excited to have found this and to see the results.
