I started having these episodes while going through divorce. Actually, being in one of those parenting classes (very emotional) started it. I was to the point that I couldn't drive or focuse on anything. I don't have this nausea you are describing but mine is more dizziness and this out of focuse state that is driving me crazy. I've been telling my dr that I am just like out of focuse camera. It comes and goes and I can never tell what triggers it and when it's going to hit me next time. I already have my heart and head checked to rule out other problems. And every specialist I go to tells me it is anxiety. Very frustrating because I am to the point when I am afraid to plan anything. I'll have a good week or even a month and just out of nowhere it hits me again. I am going on vacation with my boys at the end of June. Really hoping for the best...So glad to find this blog.

I am going from Boston to Philadelphia this weekend (a 6 hour car ride with a stop overnight in NY) and I'm super anxious. I had a terrible panic attack in Central Park where the overwhelming feeling was "I need to be home right now" and I couldn't be because I was four hours from home. Since then I have been afraid to be away from home and this will be the farthest I've gone. I'm determined not to let anxiety limit me, but it's still so awful to go through. Finding you made me feel like there are other people out there who know what it's like and just knowing that helps so much. Thank you for sharing your life with us!<br /><br />- KatieKatie S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17949793781398858782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147889412798634304.post-73533860627835526362012-09-29T23:04:25.761-06:002012-09-29T23:04:25.761-06:00Aimee,

Through trial and error, I was finally able to overcome anxiety and depression completely. I realize you have a lot going on, but I wanted to give you a book I wrote on my experience overcoming anxiety and depression without medication.<br /><br />The book is called "Discovering Light: 12 Steps to Overcoming Anxiety and Depression without Medication". You can view it at Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_18?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=discovering+light+anxiety&sprefix=discovering+light+%2Caps%2C280<br /><br />Email me at: discoveringlight2012@gmail.com and I will send you a free copy of the book for you to read and review. From the looks of your blog, you share a lot of things I do in the book, but I think there may be a couple more things that can help your readers.<br /><br />Thank you for what you are doing. Perhaps I can feature you in a podcast or my blog in the future.<br /><br />AaronAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03178306233066034582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147889412798634304.post-58338774195747706222012-09-28T06:34:45.238-06:002012-09-28T06:34:45.238-06:00As you heard already countless times, it all sound...As you heard already countless times, it all sounds very familiar!

That is my name as well. Same spelling. My mom always told me about how it was french and why she picked that name purposely for me. I also have struggled with anxiety. I have learned some amazing things over the years and for the most part I have overcome, but there are often areas that pop up in my life and I realize I am still learning to tackle that tendency. Anyway, I would love to feature you on my blog. It is about natural health as well as physical health. Let me know if you are interested and we can discuss more details. All the best to you.Aimeehttp://oneskinnycookie.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147889412798634304.post-69783929068403666892012-08-06T12:59:33.160-06:002012-08-06T12:59:33.160-06:00Hi Aimée,

It's really precluded me from doing the stuff I'd like to do like date, or even eat comfortably in social situations. <br /><br />I have the Anxiety & Phobia Workbook you talk about, as well as a slew of other books. I'm also tackling the Attacking Anxiety and Depression program from Lucinda Bassett. Have you tried this program yet? It's not bad!<br /><br />I'm glad that your panic is now touch and go. I'm on 200mg of Zoloft and 1mg tab of Clonazepam and still have trouble, though it takes the edge off. Mornings and mealtimes are still my worst periods though. At night, I'm usually just fine.<br /><br />Sorry to prattle on, but I just wanted to say the above and let you know your blog offers a lot of insight into this problem.
