[PanicZone] ATTN JUDITH
I too like you can remember that when I was a teenager having anxiety
problems, but my parents just summed it up to being a "teenager". Now when
I look back, I think I should have been diagnosed a long time ago, but I am
dealing with it now. Just wanted you to know you are not alone. Nice to
meet you. Hugs....Shea

Subject: [PanicZone] Introduction
Hi everyone. I'm writing to introduce myself. I'm Judith, a 47 year old
single woman living in PA. I've recently come to the conclusion that I have
Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I was beginning to think I was losing it so
started doing some research. I've been diagnosed with depression in the
past, with some anxiety symptoms, but the thought patterns associated with
GAD are me to a tee. After years and years of medication for depression and
therapy, I can't believe no one ever put two and two together. I remember
being anxious way back when I was a kid. And it wasn't "normal" anxiety -
it was really bad. The funny thing is that now that I think I know what's
going on, it's so much easier to deal with...at least most of the time - I
am in fact not going crazy. Right now I really need to get some support. I
think the two biggest anxieties I've had since I was a kid have been being
rejected and ending up alone. I have been pushing people away for a long
time because I have been assuming that they are going to reject me, but then
I end up alone. I'm going to try to find a professional who can help me
deal with it. But I also want to get as much support as possible. I don't
like to self-diagnose, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this
one out. I look forward to getting to know all of you and to offering
support and friendship in return.
Judith

have a panic attack is that it will pass
whether it passes quickly or slowly
depends whether I drop the idea of it
