Hi Jeanne and Julie,

I am sorry I came into this thread late. I have been trying to catch up with all these posts here.

Anyway, I too have suffered from anxiety and panic attacks. I had even come to a point that everytime I want to do just about anything, I get into this "analysis paralysis". It has been so bad that I almost went on the verge of becoming an agoraphobic.

Incidently, not anymore, I have really been working on it through counceling. There are things I still want to do and accomplish in my life that I just had to say enough and get out of my "pity party". I have discovered during this time that even if things do not go the way I think or would have liked to have gone. It is still okay, because it is so much better to just do it, then to be a hermit. Being a hermit is no fun at all.

I also need to give God the credit, for He did lift me out of this mess.

Thanks for being here, and I am glad to meet you!

Cheers and Blessings,
Cathi
