Hello everyone

[veronica1977]

Hi everyone, I have been taking severe panic attacks the last 6 months, and I think battling slight depression as well. I am not sure as to why I would start taking these attacks now, as the last few years of my life has been the best yet. I am 30 years old and do have an unbelievable past (I could write a book), I have spent many years trying to block everything out, so I am kinda thinking that perhaps its my subconsience trying to tell me to start dealing with the past. I am far from ready to see a therapist, so I looked up "self-help" and discovered this web site, so I thought that perhaps I would give this a try.

Hi everyone, thank you so much for the warm welcomes. I am not sure exactly where to start here, or really what to do, if someone could give me a little shove in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks much..

hi veronica, since you are dealing with panic attacks and some depression, you may want to read the forums dealing with those specific topics as a start. when you go to the main page and scroll down you should see "Anxiety Disorders" as a main section, containing related forums. Also you should find "Mood Disorders and Grief" right underneath that, with specifically "Depression" as forum. there's tons of great info there (especially the stickies).

any questions feel free to ask
