Hi Cheri & welcome to ASAP! You have come to the right place where everybody has an anxiety disorder. I have been suffering from panic disorder w/ agoraphobia for more than 35 years now. Being here, among people who understand because they are *living* it as well will hopefully make you feel less lonely. If you feel like it you may want to tell us what treament you tried along the way. Philip – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text –

Hi. I know the lonely feeling. My husband thinks I should "just snap out of it". And when I said the day was horrible he said "well who’s fault was that?” And "you just need to try harder". And my mother who has had anxiety problems herself thinks I just have PMS! I’m sure you will find many people here who will understand. Sasha

Hi Sasha and Everyone~ Thanx for *all* of your kind replies and for UNDERSTANDING….I guess no one understands like those that suffer with it. My mom (now deceased) was called Sasha as a child….is that your real name?? It just jumped out at me….not a name you see very often. :) I will post more and I would certainly like to get to know everyone better! THANX for just being here…. Regards Cheri:)

Hi Cheri! Welcome to ASAP. I think you will find this group helpful. I know I have. I have panic disorder that really got out of hand almost 3 years ago. The statement you made about it being a lonely battle made me think about when I found this newsgroup. I had no idea a group like this existed and stumbled onto it. I couldn’t believe other people were feeling exactly the way I felt. I realized I was not alone and some of the symptoms I was having were the same symptoms many on this newsgroup have had!! it was such a relief to realize I could talk to others who KNEW firsthand what I was dealing with. There are some terrific, well-informed people here. Take care and I hope to see you back soon! Vicki

Hi Cheri and Welcome to ASAP. It can certainly be a lonely battle but one that is helped enormously for me by all the good support here. Hope you hang around to see for yourself. Caz..

Hi Cheri. SO glad that you can join us here. I am Julie and I have been struggling with the same. Yes, I agree that people that blame the person who is suffering with the conditions make it so harder for us to deal with everything that happens. I have been told to get over it or deal with it. Not that easy to do on some days. I wish you all the best. Julie

Hi Julie! Yeah if ONLY it were that easy to "get over it", right?? I find our entire society so apathetic when it comes to understanding any type of mental distrubance….which is truly a shame, since knowledge can help one comprehend and empathize, therefore making the entire situation easier to bear….for the sufferer AND those close to him/her. Anyways, again thanx for all the welcomes….I’m sorry to see such upset here on this Board, but I have belonged to other NGs in the past (NOT on this subject) and hooboy…I’m familiar with the ins and outs and trolling and all the unpleasantries that can go on….but I also know that freindships can be made and support is possible. I think it just takes time to seperate the rocks from the gems, so to speak. :) Thanx again! Cheri:)

I know what you mean. Cheri:)

Hi Cheri! Welcome aboard. I sure can relate to the fact that some people think you can just snap out of it. You say you have struggled for decades, me too. Since I was old enough to remember to now (41). At least 35 years. I have no idea whatsoever it would be like to live without anxiety and panic attacks, since I never have. I’m glad to see in a reply of yours you know all about the in’s and out’s of usenet! So we don’t need to explain the "black sheep" here. Take Care, Tono

Hi Cheri Welcome to ASAP, Try and ignore some of the silliness that is going on here lately. There is lots of usefull info here.Maybe we can help that lonely battle for you. You are not alone. Ian

Hi all~~
Hello Cheri… Just wanted to introduce myself….I’m Cheri and I’ve been struggling with Panic Disorder, anxiety and also depression for decades.
I’ve been struggling with anxiety for 7 years and panic for 10 months. Currently on Xanax… It’s an extremely lonely battle, one that’s certainly exasperated by people who blame the person suffering with it.
Sure is. As we all said many times, people who never had any experience with it cannot understand how it feels. Here’s my favorite idiotic quote from the uninformed "Just relax and it’ll go away" ; ) Well Cheri you’re definitely not alone here…
Glad you did and hope you stick around… Take Care, KF…
Response:
Everyone around here calls me boB.
No way. Only his posse of Stepford Trolls calls him that. The rest of us who still have free will call him bloB, "b", booB, asshole… the list goes on and on. Hi, Cheri. Other than the above nonsense, this group is a great resource. Please stick around and tell us more about yourself. We have all experienced anxiety and panic. xxoo Anne
Response:
Hi Cheri. welcome. I also have anxiety and depression, and have been struggling with it most of my life. There are lots of good people here, and you can learn alot about different ways to cope and about meds and doctors. I know what you mean about people blaming the sufferer…it even overflows to the sufferer blaming herself and heaping guilt and shame on top of the anxiety and depression. Just remember, we have a medical condition, that needs to be managed and treated, just like diabetes or high blood pressure. I hope you will hang around and get to know the supportive people here. I have learned much from my friends here. My panic attacks have greatly subsided, though I deal with chronic anxiety and worry all the time. But I have learned to talk myself through a panic attack, or to talk myself through times when I feel my anxiety getting too high. I have learned that panic attacks do happen but they do have an end to them too.
