I was really encouraged reading the postings. I don't feel so alone. My family is so supportive but they have not experienced the panic attacks so its so hard to explain why I need to leave the restaurant or I can't drive or etc...
Since I have small children, I barely take them anywhere and it makes me feel so frustrated and sad for them.
Since my last panic attack in the car, my therapist told me to just stop driving for now and change my thinking first. He believes that I am still have attacks because I feel to much pressure that I am not able to do anything but I am not sure if this is true. Why would anyone not feel competent if they cant go down the street to the store?
I am so afraid of the panic that I would do anything to avoid it but I am beginning to realize this is making it much worse.
Thanks for all the encouraging stories...with work maybe I can be normal again.
