Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread.

This is just a clip from an Oprah Show about Jonathan and Jordan Knight (New Kids on the Block) who get panic attacks... the show helped me but also opened my family's eyes to what my anxiety is like and that it's not just me. It's hard to explain to someone or family what you are going through and there support is SO important... watching this show with my husband was really an eye opening day for me and him and helped him to treat me in a more possitive way instead of making my anxiety worse because he just didn't GET IT.
One of the brothers has an attack right on the show! Watch the "after the show clip" and if you are having a hard time getting through to your spouse or someone you need support from in your life try to watch it WITH them get a copy of the whole show. Sometimes if it comes from someone else they can understand it better.

Thanks so much for posting the link. I never knew they suffered from that disease. I recently found out that Paula Deen also suffered with agorophobia and panic attacks. To me, they are inspirational.

Yeah thanks for posting that link. I just watched that with my fiance, he is pretty understanding about anxiety and panic but this made him stop and think a bit. I would really love to put this on a big screen in the office where I work, could make things so much easier. Does anyone know how to get a copy of the whole show??
