Hi all,

I'm Tasha, I'm 23 and I have been diagnosed with Panic Disorder w/ Agoraphobia since 2010. I currently take 20mg Seroxat once daily and 40mg Propranolol as and when required.

My panic is present only when I am alone (and on planes but that was before my diagnosis). I cannot be home alone, I cannot travel alone etc all due to my overwhelming fear of having a panic attack. My first attack was when I was 18 and a friend went missing when we were abroad (she came back safe and sound but the experience obviously shook me up). Been panicking ever since. I have had several sessions of CBT but it hasn't helped. The difficult thing is, I have all the knowledge about panic..I KNOW it can't hurt me and it's just adrenaline etc but I am still petrified and convinced I am going to be like this forever :'(

I have never met anyone with a condition simiiar to mine so really hoping to meet someone who can understand me :(

Thanks guys, hope to hear from somebody soon
