Panic Attacks Support Group
A panic attack is a period of intense fear or discomfort, typically with an abrupt onset and usually lasting no more than thirty minutes.

Hi all. I was formerly a member of this group a while back, but lost all my log in info and so here I am again. Here is part of my story.
I am 32 years old. I have been having panic attacks since age 6 although they were not diagnosed as such until age 12. I have had periods where I have gone a year without any problems, but then I have had periods where I have gone months and months and months with extreme problems. I have set backs every now and again, but for the most part, I have learned how to bring myself back down to a normal level once I hit the panic button.
So I am here to offer my support and anything I can share with anyone and also to get support because I still have off days and they might be happening a little more than I would like to admit right now.
We are not alone. It's a scary world; especially for those of us that are so hyped up all of the time anyway.
I look forward to getting to know everyone.
