I dont write these to much so not that good at it.Im writing this because last night was really bad.I have allways had panic attacks but last night they lasted a very long time.It scared the heck out of me.It was like i could not move,or get it to stop.I have been getting them more often than normal.The doc says its all to do with control,and the only way to get rid of it is to get to the root of the problem.I must say that that sounds very hard.I mean how in thw world am i suppose to figure that out.Also at work the ocd and anxiety are getting bad.I dont want to file for disability,but sometimes i wonder if ill have to until i can figure this out.But from what i hear it is very hard to get for ocd,anxietydisorder.The constant battle with this have left me so tired on the inside.I have spells were all i wanna do is stay to myself.I guess this has led to me being so depresed.Me and doc have tried diffrent ssri meds but i have reactions to them.Wish i could find so resolve in this matter

I have started Lifespan Integration therapy. It isn't geared towards OCD folks especially, but it's definitely been an interesting and functional aid in healing. Generally, you light up the circuits in your brain that have to deal with old ways of thinking, and then you change them. To new ways of thinking. I'm also going to check out the charles linden method. I'll let you know how that goes. Check this out--I was feeling this was true before I found this method online. As Linden puts it, we have something of an anxiety tolerance going on. Somewhere along the line, we were exposed to high fear and anxiety for a stretched out amount of time that we became used to performing at that level. We get a trigger and we go straight to Superfear mode out of  programming. Apparantly, there is a way to change it. I have to read the material and see if this guy is on to s omething. But I do agree with the former statement.

I am remembering that every problem is an opportunity to do things differently this time.

Hi Chad,

If disability is an "option" always "opt out".  You don't want that.  Like Blue said, this is a rough time.  There are extra stressors on disability, like money, forms to fill out, appointments to keep.  Keep trying other meds though, you are bound to find something that helps.  I used to hate to hear this advice, but you should exercise.  I finally gave in an put myself on a schedule and it has really worked wonders!  It gets your body to do some of the work to keep you mentally regulated.  I swear it does.  It might help you sleep too.

Best wishes,

Linnette

Chad- Hey...I have never had a panic attack but I do understand the anxiety, fear and depression. It can be horrible. You are just going through a bad period right now. Try to stay as active as you can...keep working, keep going out, keep fighting. If you retreat and make your world smaller it will be worse. I'm here anytime you want to talk. I wish I could make it go away for you, I really do understand how bad you feel and I know what it's like to fight this battle daily. Be well.
