mary,
sorry to take this long to have returned your e-mail, i hope that you
are feeling better. i am very sorry to hear that you have lost a friend.
i'm sure that is adding to your problems. my name is cathy i have been
having problems with panic attacks and anxiety since i was raped 2 yrs
ago. i also have suffered from depression since the age of 13 ( i will
be 40 on dec. 16th ).
the two problems are vry closly related and can feed on each other. my
boyfriend of seven years has panic disorder, for 17 yrs he cold not go
any where and finally due to medication and therepy and lots of hard
work and helpfrom the good lord h has now gone to the beach recently and
even took his father to las vegas for his 63rd b-day just this past
holiday weekend
it was such a emotional time!!!! happy !!!!
it is hard and smetimes it seems like yo aren't getting anywhere but
believe me you can work thru everything, please take heart that others
are out here and know what you must go thru and have gone thru it
themselves and made it thru!!!!!! please feel free to e-mail me
personally if you'd like to talk anytime chattycook@...
both myself and my boyfriend would be more than happy to talk with you.
my boyfriend is really good at helping people with panic problems, he's
gotten to know the sickness all to well in the 17 yrs he's been fighting
it and has helped me wonders, he has learned both the phyiscal parts and
the phycilogcal parts (i think he should write a book ).
please let me know how you are
cathy goldman
