Thank you, Dan. You are missed as well. I enjoyed my time working with all of you. I am sorry to hear that you have also suffered from this. It can definitely be paralyzing and terrifying. For the most part I have learned how to handle severe attacks, but the overall uneasy feeling still remains. My family is my greatest gift and also source of comfort. I hope you are well. Thanks for sharing your experiences and kind comments.

Anxiety can be paralyzing. I have suffered from it when I have been under too much pressure, or feel that I have lost control of my life, and that I don’t know how to get the control back. The first time around was in ’85. Before then it had never occurred to me that I could be so fundamentally terrified. I hope your family really does continue to help.
Dan

I wonder how you handled last winter. For me the lack of sunshine made for way too many grim days, feeling lost and hopeless. I can’t imagine what it would have been like with chronic anxiety thrown in.
I have suffered from some pretty bad anxiety. The last times were on and off during grad school, which ended two years ago. During late 1985, it was really bad. It got to the point where I’d be waiting at the bus, terrified that the birds were going to come at me from out of the sky. It was a hard semester. I took some incompletes.That took the pressure off, and the anxiety went away. But it had never occurred to me that I could fundamentally terrified.
Love,
Dan

Two thumbs up for your spirit, and glad to hear you have a supportive network. I really hope you will be able to get rid off those ‘inner monsters’, or at least push them away deep down so they can’t control your life. I don’t know if that’s a realistic hope, but I do hope for you. Hugs!!!

No, I meant my readers. I haven’t ever shared that side of myself before. Those close to me know. I have a wonderful support system. When it is so bad that I fear that I may not be able to care for my daughter, my husband or mother in law jump right in to help. It is hard though for people that don’t have this to understand, even as much as they would like too. It is luckily very rare that I have these severe panic episodes. Some quick meditative breathing can usually get me through the day with some discomfort. Understand, that not everyday is like this. I have gone long periods of time sometimes without them, but when they do occur, it can sometimes be crippling. But, I just push through. I can’t let it ruin my life.
