I came to this site in hopes of at least viewing testomonies from people just like me. I have had panic/agoraphobia issues since I was ten years old. But at eighteen, is when it started to spiral out of control. I lost my job, had to quit college and lost my first love to this horrible nightmare. No one in my family understands it either. I mean, almost all the women in my family have had anxiety issues, but nothing like mine. I finally was doing well at twenty-three and for two years managed to get have a great job, alot of friends and felt really good. At this time I was on Lexapro. Then some family issues came up that were difficult, and suddenly my pills no longer worked for me. I increased per my doctor and still nothing. Now I am on Paxil 40mg, and I still live in constant fear. I lost my job again and was forced to get a really horribly paid job right by my house so ?I can at least make money for my bills. But believe me, its still a terrible task to get to work everyday. This disorder/mental issue has really ruiened my life. I am so deppressed and feel like such a burden to everyone I know. I cant plan ahead for things, cause I never know how I will feel. Its horrible and If you have never had it, you really dont understand!!!

Thank you so much for your comment. I really do appreciate the fact that I am not alone in this. I would never wish this on my worst enemy, but its at least good to know that the other people out there that have this feel the same way that I do. I was reading peoples comments/profiles and they sounded just like me. That makes me feel less like a crazy person LOL.
