But i have been experiencing anxiety and panic attacks out of the blue. I don't even feel like doing the things I use to do because of them. Anyone have an suggestions?? The other day i had to ask my daughter if I looked different because who I see in the mirror is someone else!! LOL ugggg

Yes! I am on this board right now because I am feeling a rather strong wave of anxiety and a feeling impending doom. It happens often and I am tired of this symptom. I am having a nice day and then poof --- I am horribly anxious inside my own home. When the anxiety is more frequent, I have also looked in the mirror and felt that I didn't recognize myself. I am trying mediation and some self help books but I have yet to find the magic cure.

What hrt do you take? I need to find a doctor that will put me on some because its getting worse. I think because I have no hot flashes its more emotional they don't want to give me hormones.

For me, the anxiety and panic attacks were the worst. My life was becoming completely unmanageable because of it. I could not drive myself to work, I hated leaving the house. I just never knew when one would occur. I was a prisoner of my own mind and body.
Like many other women here, I ended up going on an SSRI. It has definitely helped. I drive myself to work everyday and am no longer home-bound.
