    • Open Panic Attacks

      I had my first panic attack in 1993 about 6 months after my brother died. My othr meds help with it as does my remembering that I have the attacks. Most times I forget it is a reality so this is my effort to remain aware of it.

      Positive thinking is something I always do..when I don't someone hunches me and asks what's up..Glad it's my usual attitude. I can only guess it helps keep PA's at bay.
