Hi! I'm new here(obviously) I'm 23 and I have been fighting panic attacks since I was 12. I had them under control for a while but I was sexually assaulted two years ago and since then it seems to be a downward spiral with the panic attacks.
I'm in therapy for the attack but it still hasn't helped much with the attacks.
Sometimes I feel like I'm going out of my own head, I shake and get dizzy and I fear nothing at all. My dad has panic attacks and he has been on xanax since I was little, he is alot of help but I guess I just need to know that there are people out there who survive on a daily basis. I need to know that I can have a normal life. Lately all I can do is cry and wonder why I am the way I am. My fiance tries so hard to help but he just doesn't understand.
I know that I will never be free of panic attacks but I really need help to find a way to get rid of them. I need friends and support I just moved to a new town and I'll take anything! :)
So please any advice is useful!!
Thanks :)

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
