Howdy! I'd thought I'd write to say that I am so so so much better than I used to be from when I first got Panic Disorder in Aug 2001. I was diagnosed with severe panic disorder and OCD on top. I used to have really really really really tough days.
But these days I'm a happy chappy. I'm not recovered 100%. I still get the little panic attacks which come and go pretty quick, but I don't get the major panic attacks that I used to every day. I realise I've still got some work to do to get rid of these little pesky panic attacks, but I know in time they'll go.
I take cipramil and Tegretol for medication. I have seen a psychiatrist once every 6 weeks or so. I have used him as someone who keeps an eye on my medication. I feel people who write books or share stories on the internet probably know more about panic disorder than he does so I use them as more my counsellors.
So in finishing I hope people will now see that u can get better no matter how bad your situation is.
