Just curious how other people have coped with an anxiety order, the cause and who they managed to cope.
Mine begain when i built up and bottled a shed load of unhappiness
Dog being put down at 4 (broke his spine )
Moving to a new home
Losing job
Boyfriend diagnosed with epilepsy and suffered with depression
Got a new job
i coped on my own, thought positivly about life, as i new the root of my problem i was able to change the way i was living, doing yoga, reading books in bed to relax. Dont get me wrong i did have help of the doctor but his help was diagnosing me, if he didnt i would be a complete and utter wreck. I still suffer panick attacks but no way as servere, they are controlled and i always feeling happier noing i can deal with them so effectivly

I have Panic Disorder and the only way I cope is through a ridiculous amount of Klonopin, I'm not going to lie. However, that being said, I have a friend who has handled her panic attacks with grace and no medication at all, so it CAN be done!
Mine actually stemmed from money. I was starting to panic about money. Go figure.

Anxiety is very stressful in itself. I have been an off and on depressed person for many years, just recently I am going through something, that I believe has tipped me over. I have never in all my life ever had anxiety and panic attacks just until recently, for about 2 months now.
I begin to take deep breaths and pray, I realize I have to see a doctor but it is not feasible right now, so I pray very deeply and ask in my prayers that I want to Let God and Let Go.
Although I can't say that this is going to cure me and or take away all my troubles it certainly does help for the moment and onset.
Hope you do better and that you can also learn to deal with them. Have a great day!
