I must ask my heart specialist whether perhaps the panic attacks strengthened my heart and were good for it
I always had a strong desire to recover and to get my panic attacks stopped. there are some here who seem to enjoy and be fascinated by their panic attacks and adremnalin surges, I regret causing them unhappiness
I had a friend like this but she finally tired of my encouragement to get better and found a psychologist who said she had an unrecoverable version of agoraphobia

This is one of the best things ever written on here. I truly believe there are some people who just don't want to get better and although we may want them to get better for them it is easier to just accept that they suffer and they always will.
I hope your surgery goes well, I will pray for you :)
Take Care and God Bless
