Hi there my name is AmyGirl or you can call me Amy. I have been dealing with panic attack disorder for 7 years now. I have been dealing with agoraphobia for 3 years now. At one point I was homebound for 2 months and my panic attacks were every day all day literally. Hours and hours of pure misery. Depression has been off and on through all of this to. I hadn't been to a store for over a year some stores 2 years. So one day I fought back and have come to a place that I never thought I would come to. The panic attacks are few now and I have went more places that I ever thought were possible. I still don't go anywhere alone. One thing I am working towards. Coming to MDJunction a little over a year ago has been one of the biggest parts in my recovery. I think that actually talking to people first hand that have been through it all is the best. Without this group and all the wonderful people I would not be as far as I am today. Thank you so much for having me and I am so honored to be a group leader. | |

My real name is Richard. I am a happily married geezer 60 years of age. My health issues are kind of a who's who of conditions. I have Crohn's, Fibromyalgia, Dengenerative Disc Disease, Bursitis, Tendonitis, arthritis, leg neuroprophy, sleep apnea, Restless Leg Syndrome, Anxiety, Depression, TMJ, acid reflux, rapidly deteriorating vision and whatever I forgot to list. Oh yes, bad memory! I have worked helping people for 36 years before having to take a medical retirement in 2010. Coming from a military family, I have had exposure to many people of a variety of races, colors, religions, nationalities, and sexual orientations. My best point is open mindedness. My worst is the stubbornness I have to overcome to let my best side step up. I love the opinions of others if they are stated as opinions. Keeping fact from opinion is a must for me. It is my true and unblemished hope to help people and learn from them. Togetherness is more powerful than totality. If it hurts, let us help! | |

Hi, my name is Nancy and I've had panic attacks for more than 25 years. I spent most of those years trying to figure out what was wrong with me and if I was crazy.
Five years ago, I was diagnosed with Panic Disorder and PTSD. Then it all finally made sense.
I am honored to be a group leader here and am always willing to share, listen, and help when I can.
Gratefully, Nancy | |

Hello my name is Phyllis or those close to me call me Phil. I have had Panic Attacks, Anxiety, Mild Depression and Mild Agoraphobia, for 11 years now.
I have learned alot of coping techniques over the years, and know first hand how frightening and alone one can feel. I enjoy helping people. Professionally I have always worked in that field. If I can uplift or make a difference in a life, I feel useful. I remember when I first came to this site, I felt alone, scared and hopeless, I was unsure if anyone would reply. Today I feel fortunate to have found this site and all the wonderful people here. I have learned so much and shared so much.
I have a place to go to now and it has made such a positive difference in my life! I felt like such a freak of nature for so long, that I didn't know what to expect here. I comfort those who need it, I am kind hearted by nature, I always make time to be a good listener and I do not pass judgment on others, I guess I treat people, as I would like to be treated, with respect.
I am truly humbled for the opportunity to be one of many wonderful Leaders of Panic Attacks Support Group at MDJunction.
Thankfully, Phyllis |
