Not taking our own advice on recovering from anxiety and panic

I'm kind of frustrated lately. And frustration is definitely an anxiety, or at least leads to it for me.

I made a decision to get help with this a few weeks ago, if you aren't starting at the beginning.. My First post ABOUT ME.. I'd love to have you come along for the ride.
Now I find myself feeling like I'm not getting anywhere and anxious to get better faster. Anxious to get over anxiety. If that's not a telling statement I don't know what is! HAHA

When I'm staying inside my comfort zone I feel almost normal. The trouble is the comfort zone itself. Not only is it small, some days smaller than others, but it constantly changes as well.

Yesterday I needed to go to the DMV to get a title. Stressful for many I'm sure, but just wore me out. I would not have been able to handle it without some assistance from my brother.
This morning I needed to run up to Quik Trip to get some air in my tire, just a block and a half that I could walk in 3 minutes, and just the sheery busy-ness of the place kind of got on my nerves. (And did I just give it a few minutes to simmer down.. of course not)

It's really a bummer to be reliant on someone else just to do simple tasks.

I hope I can get in to see a medical Dr. soon. I would really like to get this talk therapy going, get some meds going, and dive head first into this crap. Obviously knowing what you need is sometimes not enough. Heaven knows I've read, surfed, and watched so much information yet I allow long held habits to take over. I honestly know what it must be like to be addicted and trying to quit.

Just how I feel today, sorry for the lack of information. One of my favorite latest books on Anxiety.. written by a doctor and I think copyright in the last year or two is linked! Really packed full of information, and available at AMAZON! Woohoo.. delivered to my agoraphobic door.. sigh......


And another light read with great information..


Has anyone ever tried the online programs? Panic Away is one, The Linden Method is the another of the more popular programs. If you have, I'd love to hear from you. If I could find a program that worked, or a cure, I'd spend every last dime I had on it! You know you would!
