i have now been suffering with this disorder for a year and a half. my worst fear was getting on a bus and going to town on my own and guess what? ive done it!! its taken a long time but ive finally got there. im so proud of myself and i now feel like i can go anywhere. dont get me wrong i still feel panicky when i go but i am much more confident at dealing with the attacks. i think that im a stronger person than what i realised. anyway thanx for listening guys and good luck to you all. stay strong and tell yourself that you CAN do it! xx
