Well, you now know an intimate part of me that many close friends do not even know. This is a real scary thing to deal with, and there are thousands who lose the battle. Please, if you know someone or maybe you yourself think you show the signs, GET HELP! It can be done, it is hard and can take time, but it can be done. Life is beautiful, it really is, learn to see the beauty again.

I wish you peace and quiet, a calm stress free life. Unfortunately that will not be the case. You have shown your ability to share your demon and truly I wish that you continue until you find the compassionate ear that will allow you to break free of the bonds that may prevent you from achieving your potential. Do not give up, we all struggle but few truly know
adversity. Rewards await you.

Glad you have hung in. Keep trucking,
you have gotten through this. Fear and panic are scary, and difficult to understand.

I have a nephew who suffers from this, at first we found it very hard to understand. Now he is 31 and with medication is able to lead a very normal life. Thanks for sharing your story. +10cp on all 4 pages.
