when i was 18, id finally built up so much i had a complete break down and tons of panic attacks that led me to going to the hospital every other day thinking i was dieing. I couldnt sleep, i couldnt go anywhere, i was like an empty shell, just sitting around all day. All of my relationships would fall apart, and finally one day i met my husband, and he helped me through it. i still have small panic attacks, but i just ignore them now, and i dont let them rule me anymore. How did you make it through them?

I never had it like that - that sounds like deep depression. My first divorce did that to me. I sat around like a zombie for months, but finally pulled out of it and found a job, bought a car and got my life back. It was 10 years before I even wanted to think about getting married again.
