My name is Liz. I haven't been on this site in quite some time. I read your post and understand completely what you are going through. I have been through the same. I used to suffer so badly from panic attacks and anxiety but no longer do. I mainly attribute this to medication and a job that allowed me to deal with the public and overcome a lot of my fears. Just overcoming that fear of being around people helped so much. I am retired now but when I worked I was required to talk to the public and give lectures to quite large groups of people.

I know that medication is not always the answer to everyone's problem. I do understand and sympathize with you as I have been through it before. I used to be so bad that I could hardly go to the grocery store before I would start having severe panic attacks. By the time I got to the cash register to have the cashier ring up my items, I felt like I was going to have to run out of the store to the safety of my car. I wish you the best of luck and hope you find the right solution to your problem. Wishing you the best.

Hugs,
Liz
