After reading these posts on You Know You Have A Panic Disorder When--- I went out for breakfast and spent 15 minutes talking to the cashier asking her what would happen if I added up my credit card ticket wrong and how would they fix it! I've never added any of them wrong and why on earth would I ask such a question? I left the restaurant laughing at myself because before reading these posts I would never had thought anything was kinda odd about my question and just assumed everyone would want to know something like that.

Yup, I have Panic Disorder...
There are a few things on that list that I can really see myself doing, or have done and continue to do.
I have to know that where ever I go there is a bathroom.

The thread about believing that you have EVERY possible side effect that a medication can cause, so you don't read the the print out that comes with the medicine, is SO true! To be honest,I have not taken my medicine too many times to tell, or been too afraid to take them at the higher levels that the doctor has called for, that I don't take them at those levels.

Now I am NOT saying that that is a good thing to do, or a healthy thing to do. And I am NOT recommending doing that to anybody else either. But I have proven to be extremely drug sensitive; including having several "oppositional responses" that were dangerous to occur, so I have been real gun-shy about meds for some time now.However, I do have a new doctor, whom I do have confidence in, and she has made med changes very recently for me, and I am taking them as prescribed. And taking that risk, which is a big deal for me!

Wow...I am so glad to know that I'm not just off my nut and all by myself. Yes, I can relate to most of the list, up to and including the post on the first page of posts...the one about the person who has to sit facing the exits.

When one sits facing the exits, it's called taking "The gun-fighter's position"...Funny, to me...I always thought it might just be a PASTlife thing. Hmm, guess I war wrong, cowpokes!

You know you have OCD....when you have to stop the gasoline pump on the exact even dollar amount or you keep filling until the next even dollar, even if the fuel is pouring out everywhere.

OMG this thread had me ROTF!!!

I myself have stared at pills for hours pondering whether or not I dare take them. Sometimes I put it off for days before I do. Once I swallow them I start to freak out that I made a mistake and wish I had the power to throw it up.

LOL I am such a wierdo!!!
