Hello all, and in response to Sarah (Flowerbabies)
Thank you so much for your great advice. I live in Toronto, Canada. I will try to drink the magnesium and the nettle tea and plenty of water. The psychotherapist I went to see has me working on a book called "Anxiety & Phobia workbook" by E. Bourne. I haven't finished it yet, so I can't say whether is good or not.
I would not mind hearing what techniques you have to help you cope or stop the panic attacks? Anything that you may suggest I will try, as nothing else seems to be helping.
As for everyone else, I feel for you and want you to know that my thoughts are with you. It's funny how sometimes coming to this website is the only thing that's comforting to me.
All the best,
Claudia.

hi claudia, you poor thing,i really feel for you,i know exactly how you are feeling right now as i have been there. that kind of workbook does your psychotherapist have you following? how do they suggest you deal with the panic/anxiety attacks? that may be the best place to start,i know what worked for me but i searched for my own methods.please let me know what they suggest and i will see if i can give you some practical tips that will help. as far as cleaning out your system... i take magnesium daily,as well as a b complex and b6. stear clear of tea and coffee,drink camomille tea to soothe your nerves and to help restful sleep.you could also try nettle tea to cleanse the liver as the liver has to process all the excess hormones you need it to be working at it's best to rid you of toxins faster. eat a diet high in fibre as the fibre will also cleanse your system and will help remove excess hormones. other than that drink loads and loads of water as dehydration is an anxiety sufferers worst enemy. it will take time but you WILL get better,you really need to work on the mental aspect of the panic attacks with positive thinking techniques etc.as i said before let me know what treatments your psychotherapist has suggested and i will see if i can add to it. i won't say i don't still have a little anxiety about panic attacks happening but i have many great techniques that i use that have so far......kept me panic attack free. please get back to me and i will do all i can to help. i could give you some book titles that i read that really helped me if you would like,you can buy them on ebay for very little cost. also which country do you live in?
