HOW LONG DOES PANIC/ANXIETY LAST – TX TO ALL THOSE WHO REPLIED
Question:
Hi Thanx to all those who replied! Seems like we are all in this together and maybe forever! Ah can’t wait for the day when the anxiety disappears again. It was so great the year before last when I was panic/anxiety free, drug free and thought I had overcome this problem for good. If only my Klonopin would work like it used to or I could find new meds that do the trick life would be great. It would also be nice to make some real life friends who suffer from the same thing as none of my friends do and I have been withdrawing from socialising and going out which my friends don’t understand as I used to be outgoing entertaining one of the lot. It would be nice to get together with people for tea or talks who also suffer from anxiety – why can’t I find anyone else with the same problem? Anyways this group is great and I honestly don’t know what I would do without it! Tx Kim — The charter is available at: http://readystump.algebra.com/~asapm

Nothing is forever except maybe death, and there are many who agree it is not finite Ah can’t wait for the day when the anxiety disappears again.

why not have your dose increased-dose adjustments are not medication failures or tolerance, they are just adjustments or I could find new meds that do the trick life would be great
. It would also be nice to make some real life friends who suffer from the same thing as none of my friends do and I have been withdrawing from socialising and going out which my friends don’t understand as I used to be outgoing entertaining one of the lot.
having a disability changes ones life for sure, but those who like you, relate to you and befriend you are friends under almost any conditions. I have found that those who give up relationships with others who have an anxiety disorder or avoidance problems are only fair weather friends, who needs em. It would be nice to get together with people for tea or talks who also suffer from anxiety – why can’t I find anyone else with the same problem?
they are out there-look for self help groups through hospitals, churches, public school systems-anywhere you find self help support group type classes-or better yet, run an ad in the newspaper and make your own group Anyways this group is great and I honestly don’t know what I would do without it!

Hi Kim: Yep yep I agree with margrove. I hunted for quite some time until I found a group for anxiety/panic disorder. I really enjoyed the interactions within the group and I learned a lot and have a live long friend because of my going. It is difficult to keep some so-called friends after you tell them you have a mental illness but those are the "friends" not worth keeping because they won’t support you. You’d be amazed at home many people suffer in silence with these conditions and how happy they are to discuss it once you open up. Good luck with the meds too. I know that some antidepressants have a way becoming no longer effective. Its good to let your pdoc know exactly how you are feeling and what your thots are about your meds. -frizz (wishing you the best) — The charter is available at: http://readystump.algebra.com/~asapm
