Debbie Rose Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Wow, such a touchy subject. I have had Anxiety Disorder, Panic Attacks and PTSD since 1975 after being raped. And after lengthy therapy on and off for 40-42 years I can say that I still have my attacks and my "POTS reaction" anxiety is sometimes identical to my panic attacks and at other times very different. The "surge" I feel with POTS anxiety is a unique sensation which occurs very suddenly compared to my panic attacks which are at times a gradual awareness or can also come on suddenly but is usually a response to some threat-real or imagined. Over the past 2+ years I have come to accept whichever one it is (what does it matter-as long as you can treat it) and manage it with meditation, and imagedry(SIC) and the occasional need for medication. My goal is to get rid of it. Like my condition, I no longer care "why", I just go about my days managing it with the tools I have and the kind suggestions of others on this site Why worry about that which you can not change p.s. just my opinion,as always Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
