I had a full blown panic attack and scared to *V this past Saturday (sun 3 a.m.) and I tried it and it worked fairly well. Good luck to you and anyone who tries it!

You are so brave and should be insanely proud of yourself! Wow, you literally did what we all wish we could. You inspire me so much!!! Just do it, right? No regrets?

Try to practice self talk...."I'm ok , I'm ok" I try to breathe through panic attacks (don't know if you have anxiety and panic) although it is very difficult. Read a lot about emet and try to use as...

It was on the discovery channel. Google "My strange Phobia" discovery channel. Hope you find it! Im sure it will air again but the discovery channel site should tell you when.

There is so much to be said about a healthy lifestyle. All the things you gave up are bad for us....I'd have a hard time with not having an occasional beer or wine. I've cut caffeine and take a...
