Hello. I have been experiencing anxiety attacks for 7 years now. I don't know what to do about them. I have not learned to control or live with them and I'm soooooo frustrated. I used to take medication but do not anymore. I may need to begin again. I'm so happy to find a support group. Maybe this is the answer?

I also have had bouts of anxiety and depression. I took SSRI for a year 3 years ago and decided I was all better and did not need it anymore... mistake. Talk with your doctor and see if medication is an option. Anxiety can be chemical imbalance. Wishing you all the best.

I appreciate the response. I always heard that medication for anxiety is not to be taken forever. I took at for about 6 years. But it's becoming clear that I may need it again. Its so frustrating to not have an answer as to why this happens. One day nothing and the next im dealing with this the rest of my life.

Sorry, I do not know if medication for anxiety is long term or not. I am still trying to figure this out myself. I truly hope you find relief.
