Thanks so much for your kind response! I will definitely try the vitamins.

I have been going to therapy for a couple of months now. Since starting, things have progressively worsened. The advice I've gotten on how to deal with the anxiety hasn't worked for me. I've really tried hard. Perhaps I just don't understand how to implement the techniques? Before starting therapy I had three incidents over a period of several months. Since then I've had more and more, now to the point that I have at least one almost everyday, usually at night, but sometimes while driving.

To put it bluntly, this is awful. I feel so helpless, like everything is out of my control. Now that this happened in class, I am so scared that it will happen again. I can't seem to concentrate on anything. My mind is all over the place.

Is there anything in particular you think of when you feel it coming on to try to steer it away? What do you do during an attack to try to get back?

Thanks again for writing. I imagine that we'll get through this somehow. It's nice to see such great support in this forum. It definitely helps to know that I'm not alone.
