Panic Attacks

[The Tower]

I didn't even know what anxiety was until I got promoted into my super-stressed out former position at my ex-employer. Then I knew what they were.... sucks ass.

Xanax helped, but it wasn't a permenent solution- only a band-aid. Anti-depressants are nasty as all hell. Effexor and Lexapro nearly ruined my life. My advice is to find a good therapist and get to root of what causes the panic. For me, the panic came because I could see no way out of the situations that I was in. After a good year of therapy with an awesome therapist, I was able to see a lot more clearly.
