Hi! I'm Stephanie and I’m 25 years old living in North Dakota. Yes, North Dakota! I was diagnosed with Panic Disorder w/o agoraphobia back in 2000. My parents sold our childhood home and moved to the lakes in northern Minnesota. Sounds great right. Not at the time. I started having these feelings of terrible anxiety, but at the time I didn't know what it was and I didn't know how to control the problem. Because of this I completely fell apart.
I went home to my parents and sat on their couch and cried for about a week. Finally my parents got me into the clinic to see a professional. I started on Paxil and I gradually snapped out of it. I was on Paxil until approx. a month ago. I recently switched to Celexa and I have been doing great until about a week ago.
This has all started to come back to me. I had been seeing a counselor for the past 4 years off and on. I had been doing GREAT! No Panic attacks for 4 years. Recently my family has been going through some hard times. My dad has had colon problems for 3 years (He's doing great now) but now he is hooked on the pain medication. I'm just wondering when will it all end!!!
I too am a Christian and believe that God is there for me. It has taken a toll on my parents and my brother and I. Dealing with all of this has brought all of the "What ifs..." back. I know I am just dealing with anxiety but I'm still in this "what if" stage and I feel like I will never get out of it. I have SURVIVED before and I know that I will this time to but I just need to get over this hill. I am really glad that I have found this web site because it lets me know that I am not the only person in the world with this problem.
