And I'd like to introduce myself to the community.
If you could put me into a nutshell it would be something like this: I'm extremely passive, quiet, and on a constant worry.
On a more detailed note, I would have to say: I am young and have many "demons" I regret everyday. I've been suffering from panic attacks for about four years now. I'm an ex-Christan after turning away from any sort of organized religion long ago. Especially now more than ever. What drove me away from Christianity in particular is Televangelist and many Christians really. When I turn on my TV and some man screaming God after he explains, "If you send me a thousand dollars then God will have planted some seed that will be sown into a beautiful money tree in which you will make 100 folds of your original donation." Is to me completely sinful and I'm sorry if I have offend anyone who has given into these things. I have The Holy Bible and Koran and have read my chapters of both. They are if no one has picked up a Koran very much alike. But, I think some people warp the Bible to fit their own comfortableness they have with some of them. I love the Bible and many of my moral code of conduct comes from it and also the Bible which both preach love others and put others on a higher plain then you.
Really I am beginning to ramble the main reason I am hear is was hoping to talk to maybe a preacher, bishop, or whatever about shedding light into my otherwise very darken mind. Darken as in sadness.
Wow, Stephen, it seems like you are dealing with a lot. I also suffer from panic attacks. Medication, therapy, etc have not given me any help, but oddly enough acupuncture seems to be doing the trick. May fate smile upon you and lead you to a better future.

Yes, I've also tried the whole medication and such but, found the ones that are suppose to calm you down are rather addicting. I've never got addicted to them but refuse to take them now in the event that I do. Please, tell me more about acupuncture.

Well, you go in and tell the doc about your situation. If he's a good doc, he'll explain to you the reality of the situation (how acupuncture may not help), the procedure, etc, and answer your questions. Then you'll lie down on a table and he'll stick these pins in you. They're very thin and hurt less than a bee sting. The sting goes away almost instantly. The pins don't even go in very much. He may have the needles be affected by an electronic pulse, which you'll feel but also doesn't hurt. Then you'll lay down for a while, maybe a half an hour, during which he'll stop in to check on you. Then after your time is up he'll return and take out the pins (which you won't even feel). That's it.
I've had very odd side affects for medications. They make me sleepy, nauseus, suicidal, confused, unable to focus, unable to balance, et cetera, and didn't even get rid of the panic attacks! You couldn't pay me to take them again.

Yeah, I was on the anti-depressants for a while which did the same. I never got nauseous but I got very extreme stomach cramps. As for the other drugs meant to stop a panic attack Xanax, Valium, and Klonopin... Well, those are serious drugs that some people can't put done. I also refuse to take them.

I've never heard of Klonopin, but I tried Xanax and I felt continuously ill. I heard too many horror stories concerning Valium's addictive qualities to go near the stuff.

Xanax is worst believe me. It's something like 3 times stronger then Valium. Valium is the only one I can take if I need to

ee gads, if only I knew that earlier!
When I was taking medication (I forget which one it was) I started having nightmares every single day. Now I have 1-2 nightmares a week even though I stopped taking all medications a few months ago. Before I started taking that stuff I would never dream at all, now I have nightmares, and only nightmares; never good dreams.
Sorry to hear about your nightmares. Double check always whenever a doctor prescribes something. Be informed before taking ANYTHING!
