Most people with panic attacks, agoraphobia or social anxiety just start with minor anxiety caused by a stress build-up. A lot of people walk around with it for years until it grows to something they cannot control any more. Unfortunately it usually takes a number of different treatments and self-discovery. However, there are many people that can get over it with a multitude of treatments. The most used are CBT, General Therapy, Meditation, Exposure and so on. My current treatment consists out of these things, including exercise and progressive muscle relaxation. If you are committed to getting better, there is no reason why you shouldn't. I am sure you'll get over this, you have all our support.
Thank you, its been 2 years since my last major panic attack, ive been so drugged up on ativan (apparently you build tolerance quickly) my tolerance makes it where it doesnt even work, i have talked to a few people and read some stories, i feel like most of what im still experiencing today is myself thinking i still have anxiety, so im hoping some therapy will maybe help me immensly. I will also admit that i recently was suffering from alcohol addiction, i would polish off a 1.75 l bottle of whiskey every 5 days or so... i would drink to sleep drink to think.. just was a horrible experience, i was in this rut for at least 5 months before i got myself out of it,
all in all i want to "rid" myself of this thing without being drunk or drugged up the whole time like i said in my post im done, and i only felt this way or even are wanting todo this since my med ran out and i came off of it and had a big world shock.
