Panic & anxiety are feelings, we are more than our feelings.

Apart from monitoring, I think we just need to carry on with life. I don't say that in any way about being glib. Otherwise you're just left pretty much paralysed.

Take care

Hi Anne. If your feelings of anxiety and panic are overwhelming you I honestly do understand how you might feel powerless in fighting them.

Have you been offered Cognitive Therapy to help gain control over the (understandably) intrusive thoughts ?

I know that many people are averse to the idea of medication, but I don't have a bad word to say about the antidepressant which put a stop to years of depression and panic attacks and gave me my life back 30 years ago.

What do you think m'dear ? Cat x
