Well, I ahd pretty bad GAD.. was drowing in panic and full blown panic attacks the whole time.. what ever meds I took didn;t help at all.. valium did short term, but docs wouldn;t prescribe it long term.
Finally, last september I started CBT for anxiety and panic, and it has been absoutaly amazing!! I was never a believer in therapy, and *knew*, with all my heart, that CBT wouldn;t help me.
I've been lucky in that I have it with a really wonderful psychologist.
I've not had a panic attack in two months now, and the anxiety only hits once or twice a day for short times.
I don;t really know *how* CBT has helped me.. I couldn;t say "she did this that helped" really.. but all I know is it has been a total god send for me.
We are now tackling my depression using CBT...
(grins at you... well done for posting!!)
