[Aunt Donna]

I am new to this site. I have OCD, panic disorder, and phobias which have led to depression. I have read several of the posts and noticed this site isn't like other sites in the fact praying for one another is openly discussed. I go to my pastor for counseling and pray and attend church on a regular basis and volunteer extra at the church. The other sites left me weary of saying anything because they seem to act as if my choices for help were strange. I do see a doctor for my problems and my high blood pressure. Found out that untreated high blood pressure can make panic attacks worse. I am glad to have found out. I am on paxil for my disorders and benicar hct for hypertension. Funny thing is what I do professionally doesn't give me panic attacks, where everybody else says it would them. I am income tax specialist. Talking to the IRS doesn't bother me one bit and helping people with their tax situations actually brings satisfaction to me. Just wanted to say hi.

Welcome Fay!!

I wanted to say how happy I am that you are here. Psychcentral is a good group of people. We have a new comers forum that you also may want to post in so that others may see you. You may not get seen right away here in Health and I know others will want to welcome you to PC.

I have OCD also and have some wierd phobias like I don't like elevators because of fear of them falling. I try my hardest not to have to ride in an elevator but I am getting better about it.

Glad to have you aboard here at PC.
