I find anxiety and panic attacks very debilitating. I mean, how are you supposed to function, interact with others, concentrate, think, do work, when you are in the midst of a panic attack or flashback?

My psychiatrist has said that I should be able to recover enough over the next few weeks as we sort out medications so that I can go back to work, but it will never go away for me. I will always be coping, the question is only how well will I be coping over time?

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack your post, but it just triggered me a little bit when people, especially doctors, don't seem to understand how much is affects your ability to live and perform every day normal tasks.

Yes, you're right. It's the gift that keeps giving.
