What extremely saddens me is that the sole treatment for anxiety and panic attacks the doctors are recommending is tablets. Do not get me wrong i have taken medication to assist me retreat to management of my anxiety and panic attacks. i am aware that taking medication only serves to mask the anxiety it is not actually a cure. Yes you may go weeks, months or even years without a anxiety or panic attack. However it can return back. It comes back because you have not treated the actual cause of the anxiety. Therefore, since most people opt for to see our doctor it can generally feel as if we are turning into an emotionless, medicated society. The thing is that prescription medications are not the only treatments for anxiety.
When you work out what’s inflicting your anxiety, you’ll possible find that you’ll notice a more effective treatment. I know from personal experience that it will be terribly hard and distressing to work through your anxiety, however it is worth it in the long run. You ought to know that external factors, such as work and home stress will cause us to feel moments of anxiety when they aren’t restricted, but why is it that some people will just accommodate this stress and others cannot? It’s because of our hormones and the balance of them in our bodies.
We have a tendency to all have moments that stress us out and cause us to feel stressed out or anxious. These moments can persist with us and leave us feeling worried over things, but if your body is creating the proper balance of hormones, it’s unlikely that these things will cause you to have a panic attack within the future. However, if your body isn’t creating enough dopamine, which is that the pleasure and youth hormone, and enough serotonin, which is the "feel good" hormone, then it’s likely that your body is creating an excessive amount of cortisol, that is the hormone that produces us more stress. This imbalance is most likely causing you to become depressed, anxious, sleepless and you may even be having panic attacks.
But it’s not just these factors that can contribute to you having anxiety, it could conjointly be that it runs in the family. Although it’s not been medically proven there are thousands of case studies that have been done on the family connection. For me my mother suffered with anxiety and panic attacks and i spent a chunk of my childhood observing this behaviour. Guess what i learnt that behaviour, i learnt to be anxious, i learnt to panic in stressful situations. I am not blaming my mum it is not her fault. It’s just a fact of life, that as kids wet are like sponges and absorb everything that is occurring around us.
Therefore it sort of made sense to me, if i learnt that behaviour then surely i might un-learn that behaviour. It’s owning what are your thoughts and feelings and letting go of the thoughts and feelings that aren’t yours. This doesn’t happen over night. However by being persistent and sticking at it, over time your thoughts do win through, you’ll replace recent behaviour patterns and replace them with new ones. Ones that will enhance your life not destroy your life.
Remember, anxiety treatments don’t all come in prescription form and they don’t seem to be all expensive or lifetime commitments, thus go searching a little bit and see what you can realize when it involves additional natural panic attack treatments that really treat the underlying problems therefore that you’ll be able to feel in management again.

Hey honey,
Thanks for a lovely weekend. Like Marian, I think an anti anxiety treatment may be a useful thing. It doesn't need to be any chemical assistance, breathing exercises, yoga, or hypnosis may go some way to helping you.
I find it fascinating reading your posts how similar your thoughts and neuroses are to mine, and many other people I talk to (not specifically about your disorder, but about things we all individually struggle with), the thing that sets us apart I guess is the methods we adopt for dealing with these things. For me, I fear it is throwing myself into my work. As you rightly point out I love my job, but it amazes me how grumpy and miserable I get when I am out of work. This is something that I struggle to deal with and it drives me mad that it is, in the grand scheme of things, so insignificant.
If and when I figure out how to acheive that perfect life/work balance and stop being such a grump, you're gonna be the first to know, but as people keep saying, it's going to take a bit of time.
You're not on your own, and it is no bad thing to ask for help.

More on the 'day off' concept: you've identified the most difficult part, which is getting back on track immediately afterwards (absolutely vital). Quite honestly, my husband is the best aid for this, but it also helps, I find, to plan my food and calorie intake for the following day in advance. I don't try to compensate by eating less than usual, even though I'm on a generous 1,950 calories a day on my maintenance regime (I'm VERY active). I do treat the day off itself as a free for all – anything goes. Usually, though, my pattern is to have a normal breakfast (I don't feel like going crazy at breakfast), then a quite self-indulgent lunch (often a cheese platter and a glass of wine at my favourite deli-cafe). I don't usually snack in the afternoon, in order to get my appetite back (!) and then I either go out to a posh restaurant with my husband in the evening (if you're ever in London, I recommend Moro in Clerkenwell) or sometimes I take the 'day off' on a day when we're having friends over for a dinner party or are invited over to theirs. The rule is that I eat whatever I feel like, in whatever quantities I want with no guilt whatsoever. Often, I do feel more like taste-testing than binging. I love eating out at a nice dim sum place, for example, and having a little of everything. This works for me on a once a month basis, without causing weight gain – but it doesn't work for me when I need to LOSE weight (my weight loss just stalls). If I really overeat, I do regret it, because I get a tummy ache and don't sleep well, but it doesn't seem to impact the scales. You musn't weigh yourself the next day, but wait a couple of days and your weight should be back to normal – at least, this works for me, but your metabolism may be different.
One other suggestion about the overeating, which I can't resist. Have you tried dancing? I'm serious – it's a brilliant anti-depressive, anti-anxiety treatment and appetite suppressant. You do live in San Francisco…

Hang in there Jen! As an FYI, humor is a fantastic anti-anxiety treatment. I had a great counselor in college who introduced me to the concept when I was dealing with some pretty powerful anxiety issues. If you can line up DVDs of the funniest movies/TV shows you know over the next few days, it could help ease the stress.
Take good care – keeping you in my thoughts.
Before I was diagnosed for anxiety/panic disorder, I had two gastroenterologists who thought I had IBS. Somehow I knew I didn't, and it wasn't just denial. Instinctively I just knew that wasn't it.
I've also had GERD for years. It cropped up a long time ago, way before I “got” anxiety.
However, when I was finally diagnosed and then treated for anxiety and panic disorder, most of my GERD symptoms went away. I still need Prevacid, but it actually does some good now whereas before it didn't do much if anything. It took a little longer, but most of the IBS type symptoms have also gone away. Yeah, I still get the occasional weird bowel movement, but very seldom do I have all those nasty cramps and stuff.
Since I've started feeling better I've had more energy, and my diet's also changed a little for the better. More exercise. More fiber. But really, I think it's the anxiety treatment that's done the most good. Oddly enough, the peppermint always irritated me, but hey, everyone's unique. Benefiber and supplements didn't do me much could either, but the probiotic yogurt did seem to help a little.
But there's DEFINITELY a connection between IBS, GERD, and anxiety/panic. I'm living proof.

I had this for about 2 years till I tried this aproach. It helped. That smell from my kitchen would bring one on real bad. When you get one I would call this one of my episodes. Anxiety is a horrible thing but it can be overcome. Most studys say more women get this but trust me men are not immune.
