I’ve let my panic disorder go and just decided it’s apart of life. I now get anxiety going into any meeting that has attention on me, or more stress, being far away from a town/hospital, or on a plane. I typically get so much anxiety that it turns into a panic attack.

Today I had chest tightness, sweating, heavy breathing, lump in throat, and a panic attack I took a Xanax for before it got too bad. I had to leave a meeting at work and I drove towards a hospital to ease my mind more.

This isn’t a way to live. I’m humiliated when I do this. I can go a month or two without a panic attack like this, but once I get stressed out with work or home life it starts to spiral more.

I just called my doctor for a psychiatrist referral. I’ve done therapy twice and could tell it’s not for me and the severeness of my anxiety/panic disorder.
