Welcome Annie!

Your definitely in the right group. There are many here that suffer from

the same and as you get to know us all better you will know that I am the

sworn vitamin woman LOL I have suffered from severe panic attacks for years

however when I started myself on a high-potency vitamin regimen, within a

couple of weeks they all stopped. I took 2000 mg of powered vitamin C a day

with a Mega Multi Vitamin for Woman in addition to high-potency B complex

150 they were called. I think I bought them at GNC stores. That in

conjunction with what you are already doing helps to put your body back

into working order again. But know that I am just one of them that swear by

your vitamins. There are many archives on our site if you would like to

browse through them we just recently had some conversations about this same

thing. Many helpful ideas came from this and I'm sure it will help you also

Affirmations, of course are Extremely important in your daily routine. You

ve come to the right place. Check out the archives and I am sure you will

find a lot of information to help you along plus i am sure many of our

members will assist you as well.

Welcome to Affirmations to De-Stress. You will meet many wonderful people

here as I have and were all family. Feel free to put your picture up in our

photo album as well. Check it out and maybe it will help you put a face to

the names you see. Have a wonderful day! Hugs...Nola

-- Hi, I'm new - my introduction

My name is Annie and I am going through a stressful time right now.

I have been having pretty constant anxiety and some panic attacks

over the past three weeks. These have been somewhat mitigated during

the past four days due to a SSRI medication and an anti-anxiety

medication. All of this started as a result of an episode of atrial

fibrillation. On Thursday I begin seeing a psychologist which I am

optimistic about.

Discussions with my sister have helped me see that I need to make

some drastic changes to my self-talk. I am generally very hard on

myself and feel guilty about things I have no control over. I know

this is unhealthy and want to stop.

I am also convinced that I must eat healthier. I have cut out sugar

and white refined flour wherever possible. I am eating fruits and

vegetables and lean meats and fish. I am drinking at least eight

glasses of water each day.

Exercise is the next thing I am adding - starting with walking or

slow exercise bike riding. My goal is to do some exercise every day,

whether it is aerobic or yoga.

I need some positive affirmations to use to support these changes. I

will appreciate any input.

Annie
