Hi, Kelly, welcome to PC!
My first panic attacks/anxiety began when I was about your age and unfortunately centered around work of all things. I have had panic to the point of walking out of jobs.

It took a long time before I went to a pdoc. Prior to that I felt like I must be such a failure...I mean...everyone else in the world can go to work, right?
I am so glad you got to see some professionals really quickly. Between therapy and the right meds for you...life will get back to whatever "normal" is.
Please feel free to PM me anytime!
