A question for everyone who has had panic attacks at a young age:

Do you think that your mental development has been hindered due to your panic attacks?

I started getting my attacks at the age of 13 and I don't think I have developed mentally, I say that my mind is 2 years younger then my body.

I remember doing stupid, childish things that I should have grown out of. Also I fear independence and I still want to be looked after evern though I am 17 years old. I now have two jobs (I work Sunday evenings at the moment and I start my new one in February) and when I started last Sunday I was scared, really scared!

So everybody, does this apply to you?
