My Struggle With Panic Attacks

Maybe you're like me:  Sometimes you suffer from a fast heart rate, profuse sweating, trembling, shaking, and maybe even feel like you're short of breath or choking. The first time this happened to me, I called 911 for fear that I was having a heart attack.

For nearly two years thereafter, I continued to suffer from panic attacks two, sometimes three times per week - even to the point where I nearly got fired from my job.

I tried all sorts of treatments for panic attacks:  Drugs, expensive therapy - nothing was working very well.  I was numb from the anti-anxiety medications and the therapy was draining me dry.  I was desperate. 

I was turned on to Cognitive Behavior Therapy (aka CBT) and finally started to come back from the edge.
