My story is about how anxiety and panic attacks were triggered by work pressures and my struggle to manage them over the last eight years. Learning to make the right choices, enjoy the small things in life and laugh at its absurdities has been part of my journey.

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.

So I'm new here, just made my account... figure I'll tell my story first off in case anyone's interested. I'm mainly here to meet some new people, talk a little bit, and hopefully offer some encouragement to anyone still in the thick of it.

Hello everyone! I will start by introducing myself. Im 21 years old from the Philippines. Im a 4th year Engineering Student and living a happy life with my parents and siblings for 21 years not until July 27, 2009. This time it change mylife. This is my story.

Not a day would go by where I didn't focus on my social anxiety from morning to night. It preoccupied everything I did and thought. But not anymore. Change is possible with a little bit of courage and dedication.

Hello All

My name is Andrea and I've been suffering panic attacks since my first son was born, (feb 2004) it has taken me a long time to realise this is when they started.  I have read a few sites on panic attacks and I use the tools I've read to help me control my pa's.  At this present time I've been in pa mode since sat it is now Thurs.  This is by far the worst I have experienced and I feel like I'm in a war in my head telling myself I'm fine I'm not going to drop dead any minute, I'm at home I don't understand why I'm having one.  Anyway back to my story.  I had my first panic attack on my way to Donnington Rock festival, I really did'nt think anything of it at the time got my self calmed down and although I was 2 hours late I still got there.
