Many thanks to all of you for the very helpful information I've found in these message boards.
I've been free of panic attacks for over a year (suffered on-off sine I was about eight). Then, the other evening, the fear came and overwhelmed me............ the cycle begins again.......
It's so nice to find somewhere where people won't tell you to 'pull yourself together' or 'just calm down'.
I look forward to hearing from you.
