I have been suffering with anxiety for the past 30 plus years. For a very long time I kept this information to myself, even my husband who I had been married to for seven years at the time didn't know.

I have been suffering from panic attacks for several years now. The first o­ne, I was sleeping and woke up with my mind racing and heart beating out of my chest. I got out of the bed and went to the kitchen for some water. Then it hit me, I was having a heart attack.

Well, that question has a long story behind it. I was always a 'still waters run deep' kind of child, shy, sensitive, always thinking, but very quiet. I knew from a very early age I just wanted to be a good person, not get in anyone's way, never be involved in confrontation, never pick o­n anyone, etc etc.

Well, I have been on this site for a while now, which has helped me so much. I have read the other stories, and decided it was time to share mine.

As a child I was chronically shy. Growing up I developed a habit of fainting in summer. It was a given. Summer would equal fainting for me. There was no adequate explanation from any doctors I saw so I just plodded along.
