I've had two such fantastic days, so I just knew I could go to a commity meeting at church. there wouldn't be but a handful of people there and I was so happy, I just knew I could make it! Yea right, made it all of 10 min. befor having a panic attack and had to leave. Pathetic!

No not pathetic
You made it there, so kudos for that and give yourself a pat on the back.
Next time aim for 15mins, take it slowly, on step at a time. Each time try to extend your time in the meeting....you are doing well!!! (((hugs))) to you

Don't get discouraged! Some of the smartest and best people who ever lived had to deal with panic attacks. You are very brave and your friends here will help you with great ideas and support. I have them too yet have even been an actor on stage! Cher is famous for them. Hang in there, you will be able to do it one step at a time like your friends say.
