The best forms of magnesium are magnesium citrate, magnesium glycinate, magnesium taurate, magnesium malate, magnesium oratate, and magnesium oil (absorbs through the skin).

Glad to hear it.  The more you put into it, the better success you'll have.  It's very hard to fight the urges associated with anxiety, but it is necessary.  You'll get there, don't worry.  One day, you'll look back on this and even have a hard time remembering just how badly you felt.

Hang in there!

I got you beat, LOL.

I've had anxiety my entire life.  I had panic attacks even as a toddler.  I can remember distant foggy memories of standing in my crib looking around in total panic.  Of course, I didn't know what it was then.  Sadly, I missed out on so much enjoyment in my childhood.  I was fearful at b-day parties (often would not go), and things like amusement parks and vacations were a nightmare.  Even trips to the store were awful.  I was petrified of getting lost, never to see my fanily again. My parents did what they could, but of course, back then, anxiety wasn't a commonly understood thing, it wasn't until later that anxiety disorders were added to the DSM for psych disorders.

I was finally and officially diagnosed with panic disorder at age 18, after a massive panic attack hit me during my first semester at college.  Since then, it's been a rollercoaster ride.  I've have periods where I've basically been housebound, and others where I've lived almost anxiety free (a very normal day to day life).  I know enough now that I know I'm never going to totally rid myself of anxiety, it's part of me, but I've learned to accept it and I am now very good at being able to recognize when it is starting to get out of control, and I seek help immediately to get back on track.

So, I totally understand.  That's why I push so hard for people to stick with treatment, whatever it may be (meds, therapy, etc) because it DOES work, but it does take time, and work and patience.
