Hi Van,

I know exactly what you are experiencing. I have Panic Disorder and did not leave my home for 1 year, except to go to the pdoc or t. I can tell you that therapy and medication has given me my life back. Sometimes I couldn't even get to the appointments.

I still have panic attacks sometimes when something upsets me, but they are so mild compared to the original ones, that it's unreal.

Please consider asking a psychiatrist about medication and therapy. It's truly worth it.
