My experience with panic/anxiety goes back many years.. My father was a functional alcholic and I believe suffered from anxiety and self medicated. Though I had many traumas, being attacked at age 12, in a major car accident at age 18, parents divorce, etc. I have always noticed that I felt strange both when things excited me or stressed me. At age 18 after the car accident I started having feelings related to panic. Often feeling disconnected. It really came to a head when I gave birth to my second child and was in a bad marriage, had two little kids to care for and support etc. Many doctors and tests later it was determined that I was stressed! I would actually see colors in my sleep and any noise such as the phone ringing would make me jump. I felt like my entire nervous system was on high drive.. crawely skin, racing heart, noise and light sensitivity, etc.

I will be 49 years old on January 29th, 2005, and I can't believe I've made it this far.
I was raised in a small North Dakota town. My mother was an old-school Catholic and my father, though raised Catholic and considering himself to be devout, seemed to me to be along for the ride. He never displayed any genuine sense of spiritual understanding or conviction, at least not as long as they didn't assure that he would be 100% comfortable for the rest of his life. He was indifferent.

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.

I love the theme of this site as I feel like I have been a survivor my whole life. My mother has suffered for yrs from severe depression and anxiety. When I was a child she didn't have to abuse us physically because she could do a lot more harm with her mouth. I am happy to say that as an adult there has been a lot of forgiveness on my part and we have a close relationship today. I remember as a child having terrible anxiety attacks, also obsessive tendencies and depression.

On a winter’s night in December 1989 after a very emotional time, I suffered from a panic attack. All I could do was to lay with my boyfriend until it subsides. I felt my life was ending and the dread I felt was unbelievable! I carried on suffering until I got pregnant, maybe hormones have something to do with it? (coz they seemed to vanish overnight!) Can’t be pregnant forever though, can you? *sigh*

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.
