Thanks for this!

I don't think that I would cease having panic attacks if I forgot that I ever had one. I have had attacks maybe 1-2 times a year for a couple of years before they became frequent. They had no precipitating anxiety, I perceived them as unlikely, and honestly thought for a long time that they were just a result of food poisoning or something of the like (that is probably why I didn't have the fear of them just happening again -- I didn't know it came from me!) Now, I percieve these as "Stress Attacks" -- probably some random manifestation of stress at the time, not really a panic disorder.

Now, YES, I know there is a strong psychological driving factor. I have a bad issue with panicking in classroom thanks to a few bad experiences. The fact that I can do other things such as work and leave the house without elevated anxiety (elevated from my base, I can still be very anxious) proves that my issue with classes is my own adopted fear I have to cope with.

I think all psychiatric/psychological disorders have a positive feedback loop we must destroy. For example, when you are depressed, you easily get depressed because you are depressed. You feel like a failure, stop doing things that help you feel happy or satisfied, and cut yourself off from friends -- thus, more depression! Stress tends to breed its own stress as well.
