View Full Version : Hello!
My name is Chant and I am 51 years old. I have suffered from panic attacks and agrapobia since I was a kid. When I got in my early twentys I used booze to get over them. I don't suggest that to anyone. Fifteen years ago I stopped drinking. I went to get help at a 12 step program. Haven't touched a drop since.
Now I've got menopause and the panic attacks have come back. But I'm working on them and slowly but surely getting better.
When I had panic attacks and argraphoiba when I was younger, no one in the world knew what it was. Today I am happy cause it is well known. About time!
I'm living in France but I'm orginally from Stamford CT USA. I'm happy I found this fourm!

Thanks so much Pooh! Would you mind if I put you on my friends list?
Hi Chant.................your story follows a very similar line to mine. Anxiety when I was younger, although I didn't turn to drink I spent a lot of wasted years with anxiety, I missed out on a lot of things.
I did have a few years which were good, but when the menopause hit the anxiety and panic came back with a vengeance.
I am getting back to some sort of normality, trying to keep the anxiety under control.
This forum is great and has been really helpful, even though I am relatively new here. I have met some lovely people, very caring and non-judgemental.
You will get lots of support.
