[QUOTE="Vicky4364, post: 697667, member: 20678"] Hello Somewhere, thanks for your post. I do understand panic attacks, as I've dealt with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) myself through the years. I know exactly what my son is going through. We live in a very small town, so we don't really have a big pool of therapists to pick from. Finding one who works from home would be nice, but I don't know how realistic it is for us. The counseling center we've started using is literally about 3 blocks from our house, and my son felt good enough to walk home on his own after his appointment yesterday. So the big hurdle is just getting him TO his appointments, really. He needs to see that he can do it, that he can make it through, and he'll be all right on the other side. He barely gets out of the house anymore, either, so anytime I can get him out, I need to try. I'm very much aware of what panic attacks are, and the techniques to help avoid them, as I've had to use those techniques myself many times! You're right, it takes time, hard work, and patience.
