If so, how long did you suffer from each, and how long has it been since you’ve overcome each? Also, if you’re someone who has PTSD have you returned to work? I’ve been confirmed as having the other disorders, but a few doctors have also suspected PTSD.
All these problems can be overcome with the right counseling and medications and personal effort. Combine all three and you can do this. I am a PTSD & GSA survivor, and it’s not easy, but with a little hard work, and the right person to talk to you can be well on your way to long term recovery! If these symptoms are also accompanied by depression a great book to read is FEELING GOOD: THE NEW MOOD THERAPY by:David D. Burns. Helped me tons! Good luck!

I have fought panic attacks for over 40 years and am more
than tired of all the different doctors from all fields of practice.
I have even had doctors now-a-days tell me you’ve had this
long that no treatment can help ! Any ideas are better than
theirs. Thanks
Hi! I’m so sorry to hear you’re feeling bad. I wouldn’t take any notice of those doctors. I had panics for 15 years (not anywhere near 40 admittedly) and I found a profound change as soon as I started Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. The key to making it work for me was really working and sticking at it. The following 3 steps eliminated my panic attacks:
1.Breathe properly – if you control your breathing, you control panic. As soon as you notice the signs of anxiety, check your breathing: breathe in slowly through your nose pushing your tummy out (to the count of 5 or so). Breathe out slowly and for a bit longer (to the count of 7 or so) through your mouth. Do not breathe rapidly or shallowly (in the chest area). This will soon restore the balance of oxygen and you will feel a lot better.
2. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy! CBT is proven to be the most effective thing for panic attacks and social anxiety. It takes a bit of work, but it is super effective. You can speak to your doctor about taking a course or you can take a course for free online at: http://www.livinglifetothefull.com/elear… It has been funded by NHS Scotland and has had great results thus far.
3. Try relaxation exercise tapes (progressive muscular relaxation). They really help if you practise often enough. This site has instructions on how to do it without the tapes (and other useful info): http://www.cci.health.wa.gov.au/resource…
I hope this helps and you feel better soon. Don’t give up hope! Best of luck!

i have a lot of phobias that i need to work on so if theres any one who can give me good advice on how to stop the panicks i would be glad to hear them
I used to have panic attacks at a time in my life, when, as well as being depressed about my situation, for various reasons, I was also very unhappy in my job and this was gave me the most stress, and I think caused the panic attacks.
Are there any areas in your life, where you are particularly unhappy, and/or stressed?
I was fortunate because I had a very caring and sympathetic doctor, who prescribed anti-depressants (which also help to inhibit panic attacks). He was also a good listener, which helped, beause I need someone to listen to me and have faith in me.
He also suggested that I have counselling – which I did – and this helped.
Phobias can also be caused by deep seated issues from the past, and/or truamas, which sometimes need a lot of counselling and support, and they may not disappear overnight.
So, to summarize:
Step 1: Go to a sympathetic doctor, who believes in counselling and understands depression and these type of illnesses.
Step 2: Find a good counsellor – if you are in the UK, then the Westmister Pastoral Foundation, might be able to help, even if you don’t live in Lond.
Step 3. Find at least one friend or a family member that you can trust and talk to.
Step 4. Do some exercise – maybe join a health club or gym if you can – or go dancing, or do an exercise class; this really helps depression and stress.
Step 5: You may need to make some changes in your life, such as leave your job, if you are very stressed by it.
Step 6: Treat yourself – do something nice that you enjoy, or that helps you to relax.
Hope this helps and feel free to contact me if I can help and further:>)

I have had panic attacks and generalized anxiety for awhile now and I get short of breath and have chest pains. I have been to the er and my family dr. many times and they all say that my chest pain and tachycardia is due to panic/anxiety. I am having a hard time believeing this! So, do the beta blockers work and how long are they usually prescribed for this and how long do they take to work? I still am havong symptoms. I am also just starting effexor xr 150mgs. Any advice would be helpful!
You need to buy the book, prescription for nutritional healing written by Phyllis A. balch, cnc and James f. balch, m.d. They have a section on anxiety.
I use to be on paxil for anxiety, but it never cured it or made it better, i would still have 10-20 panic attack per month. Then I switched my diet, and read the section of this book, and took the supplements. Now I rarely need to take the supplements, a doctor in the ER one night stated that my anxiety was causing half of my "symptoms". Heart palpation’s was a major one, which they did put me on beta-blockers. You need to know that your anxiety is causing your heart to palpitate. Doctor explained it as a tea pot on very high heat with a top that won’t come off. Sooner or later you need stop, take a breath, tell yourself nothing is physically wrong with yourself (even though you have the symptoms, numbness, a feeling that everything is surreal, heart palpitations, etc.). The doctor stated that it won’t work right away, but if every time you have a panic attack you talk yourself through it, and tell your self nothing is wrong, take deep breaths, after about 20 or more times, your attacks and durations decrease. Soon, you’ll rarely have them anymore. Good luck my friend, contact me if you have anymore questions.
