"To bring awareness to Panic Disorder." (Monst3rs)

MDJunction to me

HiddenButterfly"All I can say is that this has been the best place ever. It has been six to seven months since I joined, and I have learned so much. I now believe in myself and accept myself on a completely different level. The people on MDJunction has been so supportive and accepting that I have been able to adopt it into my personal life. That has reduced a lot of stress in my life. Thanks to all." (HiddenButterfly)

How do you explain to your loved ones that your panic isn't their fault? I had a panic meltdown today and my fiancee kinda freaked out...she's never seen me gripped by fear before...and it was so hard to try and explain what was going on while in the midst of my panic. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Information, lots of information. Knowledge is power. You can't always get people to read what you want so sometimes if you find an article that you want to share with someone, print it out, and just leave it somewhere the person you want to read it will find it can work.

Here is a great article on helping someone having a panic attack: http://www.mdjunction.com/forums/panic-attacks-discussions/ general-support/1799764-how-to-help-someone-having-a-panic- attack

Here is a good article on causes of panic disorder: http://www.mdjunction.com/forums/panic-attacks-discussions/ general-support/1782634-causes-of-panic-disorder
