8 years ago I had my first panic attack. Today, I have not had a panic attack in 3 years.

This is my story, I hope it gives you a piece of something that you may be looking for.

I've always been a very nervous, shy and emotional person. I remember as a child being afraid of everything bad that could happen. Killers o­n the loose, tornadoes, all that kind of stuff. About Thanksgiving time in 2003 I started getting more anxious.

I have always been a bit of a worrier.  I remember being a child and afraid of eating certain foods that looked weird to me (such as 2 M&Ms that were fused together) because I thought they were poison.  Thinking about that now, I can't believe how silly it sounds.  But then, it was completely real to me, and I was frightened all the time about dying. Throughout my teenage years, I don't recall having much fear or hypochondria.  Maybe I was just too busy with life (boys, friends, etc) that nothing really stands out to me.  I'm sure I had issues, but nothing like what I deal with today.
