I will never forget. I was 17 years old and it was one of the few times in my life in which I have experimented with a drug. Anyway, once the drug's effects a panic attack followed. I know that I was predisposed to panic attacks all my life... My body was most likely just waiting for that one trigger to let it all go. Anyway, I remember it clearly and that one attack was the start of a very intense, horrible journey of having panic disorder for about three years in which sometimes I would have up to five panic attacks per day. I almost didn't graduate high school because I simply couldn't stay in school. I lost out on a big chunk of my life because of the agorphobia. I barely left the house and when I did it was miserable.
