Hi my name is Amy. I just want to start off by saying this is such a great program and I just started tonite...actually early this morning. I was laying in bed talking to my boyfriend about sex. Its a very touchy subject for me considering that I have problems with it. I started opening up to him about my past which wasnt good sexually. All of a sudden in my mind, I felt as though he was judging me and that triggered my panic. It was accompanied with the usual..heartracing, clamminess, numbness, wondering where I was going to escape to..and most of all..when my xanax was going to kick in. I tried the paper bag method for the first time and I felt as though I wasnt getting enough oxygen. Then I got stomach cramps and went to the bathroom and hardly anything came out. I decided to go online. I usually go into this chat room on Aol but most of them seem to just be clowning around in there. Then I came upon this wonderful site. I cant believe all this training is free. I just hope it works because I am definately dedicated to make it work. Ive been have panic attacks for about 2 yrs now. At first I would only get them once every 3-4 months and they were very mild. For the past year I've been getting them every week on the average. I take 2 mg of xanax but only when I need them. I dont want to take a medication daily. I refuse. The xanax definately help with this but I realize its temporary. [b]Text[/b][b]Text[/b]
