FTJoshua should have finished math when he had the chance 10 years ago.
Not easy, per se, and my guess is it’s a different road for everyone. My route was Clonazepam as needed, and facing up to the fear that had kept me so afraid. Also I realized and internalized this difference: Scared is a natural reaction, an adrenal dump that you can’t really control. Afraid is a way to live your life. I don’t mind being scared anymore, but I will not be afraid.

I have panic attacks over simply nothing. I honestly think I have a panic/anxiety disorder. Ha, not like anyone would really believe me. =(

My panic attacks have always been so ghastly ….. they could happen anywhere and anytime and I’d usually end up throwing up and feeling just so bad.
Frighteningly, when I was doing something important, the worrying about whether I’d have a panic attack meant that I could never enjoy myself even if I didn’t have an attack.
Doing some research online I did find a panic attack information website that looked promising and I have to say it’s been like a breath of fresh air to me.
Using the information I would say my panic attacks have now reduced by half which is amazing and I’m getting better and better all the time.
I don’t think it will be long until I’m finally free at last!

My panic attacks started when I was 14, but I shook them off as just being sick. They happen to me when I am around the opposite sex, like on a date. I feel really anxious and scared, and in extreme cases I actually throw up. It is so horrible. I haven’t had one where I got sick for a while now, and I am dating someone who knows about my situation and helps me through it. I have tried lots of drugs and therapies, but the only thing that seems to be working for me is not trying to control them when a panic attack comes on. I just try to let it flow through me, accept the fact that I am scared. I tell myself that I have been through this before, it will pass, I can handle it, take deep breaths, and lately it has been working!
