Hi everyone,
This is my first post, although I have been reading everyone else's for a few weks now.
I've had panic since my teen years, I'm now 38. I've been on numerous meds, had biofeedback, hypnosis, etc., etc.....
I find as m life situation changes, my panic reaction changes too. It just stinks that at this age in my life I cannot sit through church, enjoy chit chat with other moms at my kid's Scout meetings, basketball games, and now baseball games. Standing in line freaks me out too. I am so sick of being this way, it can get very depressing at times. I cannot sit (or stand, for that matter) and do small talk without panic, or near-panic, unless I'm heavily medicated, and I hate that drugged feeling.
I'm fine at work for now (I'm an ICU nurse) thank God. I remember how hard it was to sit through high school and college. I am proud that I was able to finish my Master's Degree, even though it took many years.
Anyhow, just wanted to introduce myself and vent a little bit. Just wondering if anyone else has similar experiences?
Also, I have hid my panic from my son (he's 7 years old). I worry about the day that he realizes his mom has this panic disorder...
