Anxiety

[Cat26538]

I’m having a very hard time with my anxiety. I find myself crying every day. The panic attacks are horrible. It gets so bad that I start hyperventilating. I also have trouble breathing. The panic attacks cause me to get extremely dizzy almost to the point of blacking out/fainting. I don’t know what to do anymore

Have you tried watching Dr. Claire Weekes' videos on YouTube? She overcame panic attacks herself, and wrote "Hope and Help for Your Nerves" to explain the method.

I’ll have to give it a try

I read two of her books many years ago, and they were a great help.

I'm in the same boat, Cat, and I'm really glad you keep finding the strength to post about where your at, and to ask for help.

You're a fighter, which I can see, because in spite of not having proper therapy because your insurance won't pay, you still find a way to keep going. Me too.

The real crux of the problem isn't us, really, it's the insurance scam. Sure, they'll take the money to provide medical insurance, but don't want to treat anything that's TOO tough to treat. That could prevent the CEO, COD and other board members from own I g the yachts they've always dreamed of.

Until working class and disabled folks can get together and say, "ENOUGH," this will continue to be an untold story, because the working class pay all the tax bills, and the wealthy tell them their ta,es are high because of things lime high insurance costs.

Over 80% of the average working class family's income goes away in the form of taxes. Roughly 1/3 of an average person's income is taken as income tax, and then every penny anyone SPENDS is taxed too. Think about it, whether you own or rent, you pay property and school tax, because those taxes have to be paid either way, you that is one of the many tax expenses that are factored into the monthly rental amount.

Every product you buy also has a price that is driven by cost of manufacture, plus taxes the manufacturers and line workers have to pay, (and the "unemployment *insurance* costs too), the transport and warehousing costs including the taxes that have to be paid by THOSE workers, the taxes the store owners and employees pay also add to the final retail price, and the we pay State and local sales tax not only based on the take-home salaries off all of these people, but the sales tax is also tax on the taxes they paid.

It's no wonder the average middle-class worker is looking for who's to blame for roughly 87% of their paychecks vanishing as taxes, and the wealthy people who pay very LITTLE tax are happy to have the middle class masses blame the poor people rather that the wealthy.

I'm so glad you keep posting, and I am especially glad you mentioned the fact that proper therapy is NOT COVERED BY YOUR INSURANCE.

How in heaven's name is anyone supposed to succeed in getting well if they are plain and simply not permitted access to the care they need? I'm in EXACTLY the same position Cat26538, and I can at least tell you, this mess is NOT your fault any more than it's mine.

I'm glad we at least have this place.
