Hi guys. I was just reading most of the "anxiety attacks" thread and had to stop to write this. I really, really relate to you guys! I was diagnosed w/ Panic Disorder in 2000. I too mistook it for acid flashbacks, the first bout in '97 (lasted a few months), & for the first 6 mos. of the 2nd (in 2000) (which lasted a year or so) until I was properly diagnosed. I was just given 3 different prescriptions. Almost no counselling. Very disappointing, especially since some Dr's treat panic disorder with psychotherapy ONLY. I feel that my symptoms were medicated, but whatever caused them is still there. I'm fine now, but could see myself slipping into mental illness again. I too fear that insanity is in my future (ophecks said that, I think). Also, I think suicide could be quite a valid response, or at least a re-occuring theme. If you want to continue diiscussing this, I'd be quite happy too.

Dear me, hearing you saying this is really really worrying. Please please get some professional help, today today today. If you went and told a doctor what you wrote above, they will give you the professional therapy you need.
Mention you would like to see a pyshchiatrist who specialises in Cognitive Therapy. I think it can help a lot.

No, REALLY, I'm fine now. I'm not suicidal. I would really like to talk to a professional about stuff, tho. But nothing urgent.
