I have had panic/anxiety and social problems since I was 9 years old. I am now 61. I was in the Marine Corps during Vietnam for 4 years and had panic disorder my whole "hitch." I didn't get any help until I was discharged and I was 28 years old before I ever heard or panic disorder. The U.S. Government said I was mentally and emotionally sound. I wasn't. I did exactly what I was told, got by, with the help of the Lord. Panic disorder can be a lifetime illness. I am living proof and had I not gotten help I'd most likely be dead by now. If I was not on medication I would be an alcoholic. Doctors love to shove any drug they can at you with this disorder. If you play their game long enough you might get lucky and find something that helps... I take a benzodiazepine. But, believe me, there is no cure for this monkey. I have not worked for over 15 years, it does not diminish, nor does it go away. Someday maybe they will figure it out. Back in the old West I would have been a hermit, snuck into town once every couple of months and gotten by. It's been around a long time. Thanks for reading my story. It would take me a long time to explain my "coping mechanisms" and how I made it these many years. It "ain't" just women; I am so sick of hearing that. Guys just get drunk to kill the "beast."

Looks like you got the blog template problem solved, and that you're tackling this big issue headon. My approach (and new meds) are more oblique.
