Do you have Anxiety or Panic Attacks? I will listen.

I suffered from anxiety attacks for 20 years. I could barely go in the grocery store or the bank or anywhere that I would possibly have to stand in a line. It was a weird thing, but I could walk around the store, but could not stand in one place. I also am more prone to an anxiety attack when it's too quiet. When I go to a doctor's office, if there is soft music playing over the speakers, I'm usually okay, but if it is silent, I will most likely have an attack. I have mastered being able to cover it up, which is hard to do, but after so many years, you get good at it. I take Paxil for it now. I have been on Paxil for 10 years so I don't know if I would still have it or not. I haven't tried to go off the Paxil to see! Don't think I want to. Besides, if it's a chemical imbalance, going off of Paxil will not be good. I would just get out of balance again! If you suffer from anxiety and just want to chat about it, feel free to post here. . . I will listen and who knows, I might even be able to help you out.
