 My Story - Part 1
For a long time now, I have felt that I was not quite right. Something was wrong on the inside.  On the outside, I appear perfectly normal, but on the inside I am not right.  I think I may have stumbled upon the reason. 

I have suffered many, many years with anxiety.  I had my first panic attack at 17 (I'm 41 now) and some of the years between then and now I had chronic anxiety.  The kind where all of a sudden you get a rush of adrenaline for absolutely no reason.  It's pure fear.  Fear of what?  There was absolutely nothing that I should have been afraid of.  But I had heart palpitations, I feared I was about to have a heart attack and die, and I would cried for no reason -- or nothing that I could explain, anyway.  These spells would last for hours; sometimes days!  I have never been on medication for anxiety, although I have been on antidepressants for about 10 years or so. 

I started to examine my life experiences to see if I could figure out what my problem is.  I have come up with a list of significant events that I feel a need to write/type/blog to kind of get things off my chest.

To be continued...

I also suffer from anxiety, perhaps not on the same level as you, but I don't know if it is really life experiences as much as just lucky genetic makeup. I think that the way our life goes can contribute to the anxiety. But I strongly believe that some of us are just more suseptable to anxiety/panic attacks etc.

SEEK anxiety meds- My life has improved greatly since beginning on them. The problem for me lies with my husband not being understanding or sensitive to my disablity. So I somtimes struggle through alone. And I suppose he just adds more for me to be stressed about- see my blog! LOL

Good luck- I am here if you wanna talk ever.

PS_ welcome to thoughts- it helps to vent on here!
