I just wanna say, DARE changed my life, but this podcast has given me insight and understanding into this that I never had before. These graphs and these understandings. Things CAN happen. Yup. Discomfort CAN happen. Yup. Who cares?
I had struggled for close to 4 years. I wish I would have found DARE sooner I haven’t had a panic attack in close to 6 months now. Occasionally get that funny feeling in my stomach. But that’s about it. You really do just have to run at it head on. Nothing will happen too you I promise.
The date team is amazing, I have never come across amazing people like yourselves, the way you explain anxiety it’s fantastic and I’m getting so much understanding from you.
Anyone ever notice that once you conquer a fear, another one takes its place? Whether it be thoughts, pain, anxiety sensations, depression, insomnia, etc. It feels like something else always pops up in the last ones place.
It's turtles turtles all the way down. Same thing happens with chronic pain, once you successfully call its bluff it usually moves to a different place.
This is really helpful. I know I shouldn't need reassurance at all after reading the book. Gotta stop looking for the magic bullet to "fix" it. Y'all have already given me the key. But, it's nice to be reminded of it. Also the end part reminds me of what Dr Harry Barry (spelling?) says. Discomfort, not danger. Thank you for this.
@Reachitplugin Thank you very much for well intentioned suggestion. Unfortunately for me I have had a very intense phobia of psychedelics for over half my life (nearly 30 now). A lot of my anxiety and panic started after having a bad trip smoking some hash when I was far too young to be doing such a thing. So, I guess the idea of tripping and not being in control of my mind freaks me out. Which, maybe psychedelics would cure me of that by force. 😂 Still, I don't think I'm ready to take that level of plunge. I still do thank you for your kind suggestion!
When do we know that we do not need medication? I am 56 years old, and for 30 years I have been taking psychiatric medications, and for the last 20 years I have taken a 50 mg Zoloft pill, 3 mg in the morning, and another in the evening of lixomil (bromazepam 6 mg) because I suffer from panic attacks and obsessive-compulsive disorder, and the doctor says the medicine is not harmful, even if it is taken for life. Unfortunately, the symptoms do not go away, and whenever you reduce the medication, they come back stronger What should I do? 
I had this fear too but I still make myself drive. Guess what? I never crashed. I often get scared but of course I never do. Why else would I be scared about it…?
The fact that you fear crashing on purpose makes it impossible that you will do it. Do you see what I mean? Someone who fears doing something because of that thought will never actually do it. If you didn't fear it, you wouldn't worry about doing it. Thats AN obsessive though people that are sane have them . You are sane you are safe otherwise you will thinks about It Drive and crush on purpose without fear

Wonderful❤
How do I do exposure when my fear is crashing on purpose? I won’t drive. That intrusive thought terrifies me and the panic is off the charts!!!
I had this fear too but I still make myself drive. Guess what? I never crashed. I often get scared but of course I never do. Why else would I be scared about it…?
