I have problems with panic attacks and ocd. I have discovered if I take my medication when I first feel that an attack to about to happen, it lessens the severity of it. I usually wait for it to be a full-blown attack to take the medication, but taking it at that first nudge really helps. Also, getting my mind occupied with something else. I can take just half the dose if I take it in time and get my mind occupied with something else. I am not giving up.

What a neat thing to learn! I have experimented with my thyroid pill to see when is the best time to take it so I feel best.

Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.

"I am not giving up."---Bravo!!! These days, I do the same as you faylowell: I find a place to go, sit and breathe; or I start knitting (stops my hands from shaking).

I've even found this place; where others feel as I do to different extremes.
I sit down and read; and try to feel what others feel...takes my mind off my own troubles----I even get to laugh, so many here have a wonderful sense of humor.

I'm with you on that one---I ain't giving up either!!!--I send you hugs---theo
Thanks for this!
