Kashia. Yes I can relate to a point also. I have anxiety disorders and panic attacks and very few people know it. People who have not experienced this have no idea how painful it is. I had to stop working also because of this. I used to say " I would not wish it on my worst enemy".

Doctors in general do not even understand it. I think people would pull away too like I have a contagious disease. It is very frustrating and you feel so lonely ! It seems that only people who are sufferers themselves understand it very well. Others do not. Sometimes I fantasize about a machine which could induce a really bad panic attack to some people and then I think they would be a lot more understanding.
