Anyone struggle with, Anxiety, Depression and Panic Attacks?

nThat's good advice IWolfie, and congrats on your pregnancy! A CBT is a great approach because you learn to make these statements your own, so eventually we stop thinking things like "i will suffocate and die from hyperventilation" to "Its impossible to stop breathing or die however bad hyperventilation is, it is always time limited, and there is no danger, just symptoms however unpleasant they can seem" When we learn to think and believe these rational statements instead of the irrational ones, we will get better. We just have to stop being a victim, and take control of ourselves, let panic come if it wants, it cannot hurt us, and if we don't reinforce it it will eventually disappear for good.

Thought this might help too. It's helping me.

It's not a scary read and there is a lot of positive and useful information and facts there. I found this site through a PhD Expert on Anxiety/Panic through WebMD.

If you're into talk therapy, still read ... it won't hurt.

What I've found out, is dropping the subject matter for a while, taking a break can do wonders too. Everything in moderation!

Sorry, I don't mean to take over the thread, but I thought what I just learned this week might help others too.

Here's the link to my post in another thread "I had a visit to my OB (some cramping but everything is ok) and while there talked to them more about anxiety"
