Hi luv,

I would say that once we have had a full blown panic attack we are never the same person again.

It's only my own feeling, but I have never known what it is to be 'carefree' since that first attack. This is not to say that we can't make something of our lives, but life is definitely not the same as before.

Imagine you had a car and the brakes suddenly failed, then started working again. The mechanic checks the car and says there is nothing mechanically wrong. How would you drive that car from then on? I would say - gingerly!

That's how it is for me.

Gentle (non-panicky) thoughts, Myzen
