My name is Marcia, and I have been having some anxiety attacks.

[Mushie]

I decided to join this forum because I felt talking to others with anxiety and/or panic attacks would make me feel better, and possibly give me ideas about working on getting rid of mine. I felt that chatting with others who may be going through the same thing is a start at trying to figure out the best way to deal with my anxiety and/or panic attacks.

Hi Marcia!

I'm new to the forum myself, & I joined for the same reasons. I want to connect with people who can truly understand what I'm going through.

Just wanted to quickly say hello & welcome!

Nice to meet you ReneeA!!! If you are having the anxiety and/or panic attacks, yes I can understand what you are going through. The sad part is, we never know from day to day if it will be an anxiety and/or panic day or evening. I was doing good for a week without any medication (Lorazepam), and then wham, started having them again. So until I can figure out what is going on, I might just have to stay with the pills until I feel comfortable enough to not use them. I take the very lowest dose of the Lorazepam, so it won't hurt me, but I just hate relying on pills to enjoy life.
