I am a 22 year old college graduate who majored in political science with a minor in law. In summer 2008, June to be exact, I rushed myself to the hopsital (yes, I did drive myself) thinking that I was dying only to find out that I had had a severe panic attack. I now take 100 mg of Pristiq and 20 mg of buspirone a day. I am getting better everyday but my panic/anxiety disorder still presents me with many obstacles. My anxiety gave me a fear of leaving the house, death (since I thought I was dying during my first panic attack), and driving so I would miss school more often then I should have because I was afraid of the driving. I drive an hour to school everyday. I am on scholarship so it's important I maintain my high G.P.A. I got a 3.5 for the semester but it was hard. Everyday was a challenge. There are some days when my anxiety is out of control. Prayer helps a lot. In fact, I believe it was God who led me to your site. I really need a support group bad. My family and friends don't understand this nor do they really even try. It feels bad to deal with this alone. Thank God and Jesus for people like the ones on this site. Oh, and in the fal of 2009 I will be heading to Washington D.C. to intern. I am so excited! I hope my anxiety is totally gone by then lol.

I think that panic attacks suck!
?Always thought of myself as straight and only dated guys until up about a year and a half ago. I started becoming sexually attracted to girls.?
Ever since I had my first panic attack seven moths ago, everytime I don't feel my best I fear that something must be fatally wrong with me. (e.g. If I have a headache I think aneurysm. If I have chest pains from anxiety I think heart problems but I have been to the hospital and doctors and they all say I am fine and 100% normal physically. I know it's silly and I know anxiety is the real culprit but it's so hard to shake.)I also have a huge fear of death and dying. I hope this group can help me.
I am a college graduate who is now working on my application and scholarship money for grad school.
I have a huge fear of elevators,flying,closed in places, and death.
I am so VERY shy around people I want to potentially date. In most cases, my shyness is the deal-breaker. I have been stung so many time I cant really be myself and confident when trying to catch that significant other:(
I a 22 year old college graduate...and a virgin. It gets hard because the world is always pushing sex and meaningless hook-ups on young people today.
My sister just recently signed up for the army. She is 19 and leaves in October. I have no idea how I feel about this.
My family is nowhere near the worst family you could be born into but we still have our problems like anyone else. My parents have always provided for me and my sisters very well but a lot of times my father, while he is loving and sweet most times, can get verbally abusive and make me feel like crap. I don't know how I irk him to say the things he says to me but I guess I just get on his nerves sometimes. Anyways, I also have a sister who is a narc who can NEVER do wrong and likes to argue.
