Hi! I have been suffering from panic attacks for almost 10 years now and believe me when I say I feel your pain. If a therapist is too much money for you right now, perhaps you should just speak to your regular physician and see if he/she has any ideas. Also, perhaps you could spend some time in a library, or a bookstore and read up on panic attacks. Just know that it's all in your mind. You're not going to die. You may think that you are going crazy, or that you need to be locked up, or that the end is near, etc etc... but it's not. There is help out there in many forms. Maybe there are even some support groups around your town. Look it up online... I hope this has helped. Don't give up and fight it.. you'll get through the pain... Sometimes I feel the same way you do.. infact this past week has been a bad one, but I know I will get through. Please.. if you would like to continue writing just private message me.. or post to this reply. Hope you are feeling at least a little better.

Honey if you ask your Dr to refer you to a hospital that has programs it might be alot cheaper. I'm a recovered agoraphobic for 23 years this is what most psychiatrist call the crippling phobias but i used this as becomeing a counsellor and i help those that can't or won't seek help. Theres this really good book from our teaching its from Claire Weeks its a self help program and it saved my life and i'm very happy now. We have this program its called adams association...its only for anxiety and panic .But you can do it your self by buying her books hun trust me i lived though MINUTE BY MINUTE WITH PANIC ATTACKS for 10 years and i couldn't leave my home and also raising 2 sons by myself. People whom suffers from this can also be a chemical imbalance which i hear more of and myself.Maybe see your Dr hun and you can come up with a plan.Theres so much help out there its just the matter of finding it.But i swear by these books my psycologist teaches by her way and you can order them used on E-Bay. You will be fine hun and e-mail me any time i well help in any way i can. yours truely melody
