I notice you answer most of the messages and seem to have a lot of insight and answers about panic do you suffer from panic? If so it seems like you have a good handle on it can I ask what your secret is or what has worked for you. Thanks

I had severe social phobias and panic attacks for 20 years and got no help at all from many docs or psychiatrists, the word panic attack was never mentioned
since I am talkative I got much psychotherapy on the couch which did me more heam than good
finally in 1981 I diagnosed myself from info put out by an agoraphobia self help grpup and gradually got better
until then I had thought I was the only person in the world with my problems

I found that recovering from it was no more difficult than living with it, just different

recovering the correct way doesnt involve any struggle or fighting
