Hi Syd,

Thank you for posting so openly and honestly on our forum. Your courage in sharing everything that you have been going through is admirable.

I can really hear how worried you are about the impact of these anxiety and panic attacks on your life. Seems like these attacks are causing you a lot of stress right now…just as you thought they were done and a thing of the past, they return out of the blue, in full force. I bet the unpredictability of it all makes this even more stressful and worrisome :S

It’s great to hear that you have reached out to different people to find support in those anxious moments. I’m glad you’ve got some strategies, but it seems like you don’t have many people supporting you in this fight…I can hear the judgments that you feel from others (parents) which continue to hold you back from talking about this. I can only imagine how powerless and vulnerable you feel when you face these uncontrollable thoughts alone

I’m glad you have connected here Syd…we are here for you. You can Chat in too if you want to talk between 6-11pm PST.

Your words show that you are a fighter….hang in there Syd and continue to be as strong as you have.

Take care,
the Support Team
