No no no K..thanks for sharing I love love love listening and you can be soo interesting...I am into all the alternative things I am not into taking the herbs and stuff like that...but I do take yoga classes at the gym and I would love to be able to settle down long enough to meditate..I think that with everything you have to just do it and you have to make time to do it and that is what I need to do because I think all those things are very good.>I do arobics 3 times a week lift weights 3 times a week and yoga once a week and that works for me but not enough I still at this point in my life need the meds..now that I have finally decided to take them I have the med phobia...
As far as seeing a therapist that is into all that stuff well whatever works for people I have been lucky enough to have just recently found an amazing therapists that I hope I'm not let down but has been just wonderful and have only had 3 visits but have come away from 2 of them with a sense that I'm getting somewhere and this person is really really listening to me...I realize the molestation that I was at the hands of in my childhood was absolutely horific and my mother was just as horific but she may have been sick and couldnt help herself I dont know..But that is something that this woman said to me yesterday she is not there to judge my mother because there is always a sense of guilt when you talk about "your mother"..and she told me not to go there that she is there to help me and figure out what I got from being in an abusive home and I thought wow that is great she finally gets it..I cant go back and change what happened to me>>>i did an awsome job with raising my daughter she is great human being and I have broken that cycle but for me I'm still broken and need to be fixed for once in my life and that is what I hope that she does for me...So to think that people that are against meds well you know they should be there for you not for their own beliefs and you were soooo right "they have never had a panic attack haha..I know I know I'm am friggin rambling on and on..but I just really believe that you need to go to someone that is going to help you and not waste your precious time on things that wont...'LIFE IS TO SHORT TO WEAR TIGHT SHOES"...
Well K now I'm the one sorry for going on and on...But just wanted to get it out...thanks for sharing your views and I hope that you are getting the help that you need....
I was also telling the therapist that I think that the people that deal with panic/anxiety/depression are the most compasionate people you would want to know she wasnt so sure of some of her patients but the people on the posts here I know that to be true...They can be feeling at their lowest, share it with us and then it is always so how are you doing..they are into trying to help others we care about so many people and we try to help because we dont want people to feel the same pain we do....God bless you K and god bless everyone on here I have found angels in a place that I wasnt even looking and I am forever grateful..So i have probably said way too much but that is the way I am...Take care and talk to you soon...Mystic
