Dear Colette I used to have really bad anxiety attacks. They even would wake me up during the night! I am now on meds to control them & it works well. Before I got on meds, I would just do some self talk. I would say, ok, it is just an anxiety attack, just breath & it will end soon. I would also try different things to keep my mind off of it. You just have to remember to breath! I also suffer from depression. I take Paxil & Buspar. The combination works very well for me. I had to go to a Phsyciatrist (sp) to have them prescribed for me because of my insurance, but she was a very nice lady, who also understood adhesions & the pain they cause. Depression & pain will and almost always goes hand in hand, but in my case, I have had depression since pre-teen. I feel like it has been all of my life since I am now 40. I just wanted to let you know, you aren't alone. Robin
