You wait till your falling asleep in your recliner before you will change into your pajamas for fear you might have to go to the ER. (pretty bad huh!!)
Loved this one!!! That one was wonderful...(been there done this kinda thing...lol)
- I cry for 2 days before having to get on an airplane and have difficulty keeping solid food down for the same 2 days
- I stock up on booze (and put it in water bottles to sneak onboard) and tranquilizers about a week before a flight
- my own family members refuse to sit with me on the plane (which is okay because trying to down-play my panic for them only makes it worse)
- the flight attendent asks me every few minutes if I'm okay - sure thing, honey, I'm hyperventilating and have a death grip on these armrests because I think this is fun!
- I cry again when we touch down.
Guess I'm luckier than many of you. Flying is my only true phobia.

When you count your Xanax every single day, and then divide by how many days you have left until your refill, then panic because you know you are allowed only so many so you don't run short, then have an attack over worrying over that, which causes you to take more than you were allowed that day based on the count you just did.

While driving you will do anything to avoid stoplights, such as going 10 mph approaching one so it will turn green by the time you get there.
Always avoid the left hand turn lane at stoplights so you wont jump out of the car into oncoming traffic.
Feel anxiety bad, and clean up your best, clean underwear, etc for the anticipated trip to the ER.
Make sure your cell phone and home phone bills are paid first, so you always have a line of communication open for help.
Have 3 or more "Panic" Sites saved to your favorites on your computer, visiting them several times a day.
These posts have been great, I have practically fit all of them, especially the
blood pressure monitors, heart rate, benzo up before leaving 3 days in advance. Thank goodness we aren't alone in this.

I might be a little late replying to this one but heres mine;
you check your moblies fully charged before leaving the house, incase you need to phone an ambulance whilst your out.
You run round the supermarket like your doing a trolley dash (and go home without most the things you actually needed.
Your doctors receptionist knows who you are (without you actually telling her your name)
The doc has a forklift truck to carry your medical records.
You check every 'best by date' on foods (in case you get poisoned).
Friends stop inviting you out.
You know word perfect 'the boy who cried wolf'
Your neighbours think your a vampire (cos you rarely see daylight)
These posts have made me laugh so much, i felt i had to add my bit.

The grocery one is totally me. I go so fast I end up spending way too much because I didn't stop and compare, just grabbed the first thing I could find!!!
when u actually go to the dr office and while waiting try and do deep breathing exercises so you bp isn't sky high and when you get in there and tell the dr you have a panic disorder and they understand and actually give you something for it! i can so relate to all these responses! may peace come to all of us!

Wow. I thought I was the only one who chewed on their fingers when nervous. It starts with peeling the skin from the side of my thumbs and when that gets too tender I start on the other fingers. It's embarrassing because sometimes I can't stop myself even in public. With the stress and anxiety lately at work, all my fingers are bloody.
YOu know you have panic disorder, when
* you just know you are dying, but then you are so nervous that you walk 10 miles an hour.
*you stand infront of the mirror whatching your self to make sure you dont change.
*when you want to watch scary movies becuase that is normal fear.
*when you dont answer you phone, but gets mad when no one answer you call.
*when you have about every anxiety and panic books there is.
*when your husband just rolls his eyes when you start to have a panic attack.
*when your afraid to watch the health channel.
*when its the only time you can lose weight and you say, but its not worth it.
* when you dread to go to bed and dread to wake up
*when you sleep all day to get away from your feelings.
*when you cant leave your home with out your husband,
*when you are afraid to take a shower because your afraid you will panic and have shampoo in your hair, or even better
your affraid to have a bm becuase you are afraid you will be in the middle of it and have a panic attack, (sorry that is a biggy for me)
I know mine isnt that good, but this is some that i deal with, all the others has already been said,
Great Post

1. as soon as your heart starts to race, you immediately think death.
2. you get too hot when you take a bath and worry you may pass out.
3. you get freeked out when your animals look at you funny because they have that sixth sense.
4. you end up talking to a stuffed animal for about an hour before you fall asleep to keep your mind off of your heart.
5. you try every position in bed you can think of until your wound up like a pretzel, just to not feel your heart.
6. you compare your breathing/heartrate with the closest thing to you, even if it's the cat.. then you think the dogs bigger.. maybe i should try that.
7. you constantly take other peoples pulses.
8. you can't watch a movie that makes you think or you freek out.
hm. that's all i can think of.
