Panic disorder

by Sara
(Victoria, B.C)

I don't really have a question yet, but I am 19 years old and have been suffering immensely from panic attacks to the point where I cant hang out with people anymore. I have been on numerous medications, have done acupuncture, Emotional freedom technique, and Therapy. Three days ago I decided that I did not want to be put on anti-psychotics which have long term effects and have now been searching for a way to treat this without drugs. Your website has been the most informative place I HAVE EVER FOUND. I do not know if it will work, but my intuition is telling me that there is something very special about what you have to share. I hope this will change my life!

I hope so too! I think it's great that you are so motivated to make changes. This motivation gives you the ability to be successful in managing anxiety and feeling better.

You would probably do very well with a combination of relaxation techniques, such as the anxiety relief audio, and self help exercises, such as Panic Attack Worksheets and David Burns' book "When Panic Attacks: The New, Drug-Free Anxiety Therapy That Can Change Your Life."

Keep me posted on how you are doing, and feel free to ask any questions you may have as you work through this.

Best wishes!
