Hello Trentino. I'm sorry you have had such a bad run with the anxiety symptoms. As you can see above, there are a few people who have experienced similar symptoms and that must be a bit of a comfort to know you are not on your own. It's a bit unfortunate that you are not in a position to get some professional help. Anxiety and Panic symptoms are very similar to some physical disorders and that's one of the main reasons for attending a general practioner, so that you can be screened for other conditions.

So assuming all that has been checked out.

A large part of overcoming anxiety is self-education on how and why anxiety occurs. Much of that you can do yourself. A number of good web sites that might assist, as well as some good publications.

Some of the publications by Paul Wilson are pretty good, especially if you trying to manage it on your own. www.calmcentre.com
Dr Ainsley Mears -" Life Without Stress", as well as anything else by her you can get hold of.
"The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook" by J. Edmund.
"Beyond Anxiety - Step by Step Guide to Lifetime Recovery" by J. Edmund and D. Bourne

Have a look around for relaxation cd or tapes. Often available over the net or in Alternative Medicine shops.

The books above should be available on Amazon.com


cheers
Hawk
