Thanks for replying Zen, I was really starting to think that maybe people just don't like ME anymore..LOL..not very many people even talk to me in HERE..no there has not been anything that has happened to me in a social setting..not that I can recall anyways..but I am very confined out in the country on a ranch now...so I don't get to town much..My job keeps me busy..I work at a law firm..but I am just the Legal Secretary as of right now..I am going to College to become the Paralegal so hopefully i will be dealing directly with people later on..I used to be highly involved in my community..now I am not..I used to have lots of friends like I said..now I do not..I guess I am lonely..and confused as to what my body is responding to when I try to make a concious effort to go out and make contact with the outside world..to me this just doesn't seem like me..I dunno..as for the therapist idea..I appreciate the help there..but it won't happen..I used to go to therapy and well it did me more harm than good..and I refuse to go back to one..I understand that there are really good therapists out there..but its just not something that I am willing to do..I KNOW I can beat this on my own..I have heard of breathing and relaxation techniches and such and seeing as my attacks, if you can call them that, are so mild I was hoping I could find some info on them..Thanks again for replying to me..I appreciate it..means a lot!!
