Message: Hey, I just had a panic attack for the first time today. It was the scariest thing ever. I called my mom and slowly felt better. I just had another one about 10 minutes ago, but since it's so late at night I couldn't contact her, so I went on this site. I read your stuff about how to cure a panic attack and I feel a lot better. Thank you so much for writing this... I seriously thought I was going to die but you made me feel better. I'm really freaked out though because I've never had anyhting like this before, nor have I ever had any anxiety or ocd in my life. I'm actually one of the most laid back people I know. I think what scares me the most is even though I feel better now, I'm afraid it will happen again. Any tips for me? Atleast I know which site to go to if it happens again :)

Message: hi daniel, if you read this again, i have played around with the colours, and i thought they were actually pretty good to read.. i know that white writing on a black background is disasterous, as is yellow on black background.. i have chosen the purpleish and blue colours because they dont stick out on the black... when you have colours such as yellow and white on black, when you go back to the opposite page (ie black on white), you get this weird after effect.... i have experiemented with the colours and thought that the ones i have are pretty good.. if you have any different suggestions im up to it... i only put the pink page at the front to see what people thought... sorry

I also had a look around your site. I downloaded one of your songs(descente) and was pleasantly surprised. I liked the rhythm of the bass notes and the phrasing of the melodies. It seems you are talented at everything you do. Keep it up!

thanks for your comments they are great!
with the last coffee comment... it doesnt/didn't really apply to me because i never really drank any coffee at all while i was sick.. i would say i ony drank about.. what.. 10 cups in my whole life by the time i was 10 (lol)... if you do find something to help tho, i don't mind!... fears can only really be tackled by confronting them AND preparing your mind for every answer to every scary situation that will happen (ie. brainwashing yourself with your inner voice)..
good luck guys!! i will just keep my front page pink for now.. i couldnt be stuffed doing all of it pink for now lol

Message: I have suffered from panic attacks my entire adult life and I am now in my fifties. As I've gotten older the attacks have become "situational" in that the only time I have them is when I'm driving and I have to stop for a red light at certain intersections. They can be so bad that I have certain areas of town I can't drive to for fear of having a panic attack. Having my husband with me in the car helps.
The attacks had become much worse the last few years to the point that I had become extremely limited in where I could drive, and my husband had to accompany me practically everywhere. This had progressed to the point that there were intersections I could navigate as long as my husband was in the car, but now even having him with me didn't stop the attacks.
Then I switched to decaffeinated coffee, which significantly decreased my caffeine intake. I didn't do it because of the panic attacks, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the panic attacks have been greatly reduced due to significantly cutting down on caffeine. I can now drive many more places without my husband along, and am getting to the point that I can drive just about ANYWHERE if he is along (he's my talisman!).
Such a simple thing, with such great effect. I recommend anyone suffering panic attacks try cutting out caffeine and see wehat happens.

Message: continued....... Unless you have been through it yourself, you will never truly comprehend what it is like to live with a mental illness. I have been well for 4 years now, and looking through your site, reminds me of myself, when I was trying to make sense of what happened to me. I spent a good few years talking through, writing about, and pondering over my experiences, in order to make sense of it all. I am now at the stage where I have put everything behind me, and life is pretty darn good. I finished my degree, am currently working at a highschool, and have a loving boyfriend, and an understanding, loving, compassionate God that loves me more than I could comprehend. I want to thankyou for your site, and to let you know that there IS a light at the end of the tunnel. And when these trials are over, there may be more, but what matters is that you stay true to yourself, you allow your character to grow through the valleys, and you never let that fire in your heart die xox

Message: Hi Kitkat,
It takes a lot of courage to put your inner thoughts and your painful, vulnerable experiences out there on the net, in the hope that it could be comforting for others who may relate to you and your experiences. Your posted messages from other visitors show how much support you have from site visitors, and how much support your site offers others. It is also interesting to see that there is a small percentage of posted messages that seem quite negative. This is a great example of the stigma that sweeps through our community, attaching itself to mental illness, and people with mental illness. I understand that often we, as humans, are continuously labeling ourselves in order to be part of something greater than ourselves. Whether we are aware of it or not, we all fall victim to categorizing ourselves, our personalities, interests, traits, etc. This helps us all to feel as though we are "part of the game". But enduring a mental illness is simply not a game. And neither is "normal" life!........... to be continued..

Message: Hun, I'm not sure if you are still struggling to find out what is exactly wrong, but please get tested for bipolar. After 9 years of ups and downs, like MAJOR ups and downs,feeling better than normal, then very depressed, being misdiagnosed with everything under the sun from Depression to schizophrenia and being admitted to hospital countless times, I was finally properly diagnosed with BP this year. Your symptons sound very BP. At least go to www.wikipedia.org/wiki/bipolar_disorder and check it out. For me, this was something of a revelation, and I was very angry with doctors for misdiagnosing all this time.I hope you don't mind me writing to you, but reading what you wrote sounded all too familiar to me.From someone who had thought there was no hope, but found some.

Message: The only thing proved to cause a chemical imbalance in the brain is adding a foriegn chemical to it. Psychiatry has racked my life over the coals for years along with my own addictions. But now I am free. I've withdrew from Benzodiazapines after 6 year, Neurontin after 3 years, not to mention many other SSRI's and just about every catagory of psych drugs. Seroquel is the last thing for me currently at 25mg, while I started out on 300. I'm just going slow because it messes up sleep, but that seems to go away after a week each time I cut back. The mind is much more than a balance of chemicals, it took a long time for me to realize this, I hope you can one day find freedome.

I've come across your website through a google search and I wanted to pass on some information to you that I recently found. I myself am tapering off of antidepressants and low-dose seroquel (for sleep) and this website has been a godsend. It is a yahoo group for people who want to or have gone through stopping psychiatric medications. I hope you join and I hope you find some good information there. I did. The name of the Yahoo group is Withdrawal and Recovery, and it is free to join. If you have trouble finding it, just email me.
All good days ahead...

Message: I'm not saying that this website isn't any good. I think it's very insightful and well written. So keep up the good work. However, you should really change the name and that awful header that for sure will keep reminding you how mentally ill you are.
I think you are adding to my point. I and many others (who consider ourselves "normal") have cried for days because of lost love. I know... That is just one example.
But you should stop putting yourself in a box that says 'I'm diagnosed as this and that', thus I'm mentally ill and have a very hard time.
I'm sure that the box that says 'Hey, I'm good. I have my highs and lows in life as everybody else, but I'm f***ing good' would make your life easier. Or as easy as it gets might be more appropriate.
Perhaps your actual illness is that you simply cannot change the way you 'class yourself' to use your own phrase?

Message: I don't get it. Honestly. You go to univerity, you seem have a grip of how the world actually works (socially and professionally). Indeed you get depressed at time. You even get a sense of panic sometimes (in situations where you have no prior experience, I assume). You even get very depressed when your boyfriend breaks up with you.
Let me let you in on a little secret: THAT'S NORMAL.
So get on with it and stop thinking that you are not.

If you're depressed and don't feel like doing anything. Just know there are things about you that only you have and only you can share them with the world. To lose a great mind is one of the greatest tragedies in the world, and to let your self drift away would mean all of us who have not met you will never have the opportunity to meet you and the mind, body and soul that makes you.
Get yourself out there, make some one else’s day, join a social sports team, meet new people, new friends, run a muck and absolutely kick some ass and take some names, you will love it and the people who share that with you, will love it and will love you just as much.
