I also suffer from anxiety. I get so anxious I cannot leave the house....My mother has to come with me to my violin lessons, and to my exercise classes. I am even too anxious to go to church. In the past, when I would have an anxiety attack, I would talk to myself using soothing and affirmative statements. I would also BREATHE. Lately, I cry a lot, and my mom has to calm me down. I stayed at home for two years, so I have forgotten how to manage my anxiety. I try to leave the house when I can....I find that exercise is very helpful. I now go to zumba and aquacise. It is good that you reach out for support when you have panic attacks (talking to your counsellor, nurses, and going to the ER). May I ask if you see a psychiatrist? He can prescribe you medication for depression and anxiety. I take medication for bipolar disorder and schizoaffective disorder. Medication helps a lot....
