Great to read your story – sorry to hear what you’ve been through! But glad to hear you’ve improved. I’ve been through a similar scenario – diagnosed with social phobia over a year ago, and then panic disorder with agoraphobia this past November. It’s nice to see that there are lots of others going through similar problems – lots of very nice, helpful people! Keep up the amazing work.

Congrats to you! Keep focusing and working on it (as I can see you are here) and you shall be better soon :) much love from this end. Keep working with your psychologists and psychiatrists to improve yourself and get better! :) It’s only a matter of time before you are completely good. Be a good person and give back to other people in need and keep a lot of cliches together with you and you will discover you can be happy and true to life in many ways.

30+ years with Panic Disorder and Agoraphobia. Back in 1980 emergency doctors just thought you were wacked and being a product of the 60′s, they tended to rule in favor of too many drugs, back in the day. Not the case, so i went without any treatment for years (not recommended at all). It finally came to SSDI, devorce, isolation and just about anything else that can make your life miserable. Wouldn’t wish on an enemy, if i had one and one thing for sure, it is life changer ………………… ;{D ezekyle

Have you explored Mercury as a possible cause. I am slowly beginning the process of getting it out. Not an easy one. It does cause anxiety, depression, anger, social avoidance as well as many neurological symptoms. Seems to love the brain. Anyone has been exposed to it with amlagams in teeth or really just living in this toxic planet & runs the risk of many mercury related disorders. for some people its not so troublesome but for others its hard to detox and wreaks havoc. Just something to chew on for what it is worth. :o) Nice blog! Best to you.

Thank you, D, for your comment. I decided when I had the “big breakdown” that I would no longer try to conceal my mental struggles from people. It was an important part of my recovery to do so, though I lost some “friends” by being open about it.

I have already looked briefly at your blog, and will take a good long look as soon as I finish this!

The more anxiety blogs, the better! The more people telling their story, the more people will be able to find help and support. I’d appreciate any feedback you have on my young blog :) http://iamlivingwithanxiety.blogspot.com/

Welcome, Susi, and thank you for your kind words!

I’m flattered that you think my site is comprehensive, but it certainly can’t cover all the facets of Anxiety Disorder. There’s always room for one more site!
