I've had panic disorder for roughly 8 or 9 months now. There seems to be a pattern with it in which I wake up feeling normal again and then after about 3 to 5 hours the symptoms always begin (fear, tight chest and throat, feeling like i can't breathe, shaky, dizzy) and stay for the rest of the day.
I've become somewhat used to them now that I can endure alot of it, (tho it will still sometimes overwhelm me and I'll have to stop what I'm doing) It's just always there, either in the foreground or background, but still making it hard for me to do anything either way.
When does it go, what does it take to make it stop? Nothing even happens to worry me, it just starts doing it automatically. Am I going to have to live like this for the rest of my life?
At the moment I'm not really doing anything, I've left university and am living off and with my parents, talking to counsellors and trying to make plans for me to do things, hoping that if I start living a life again, this will stop, but what if it doesn't? I have a fear that nothing I can do will make this stop and I have to live like this for good from now on. :'(
