Guest guest Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 I used to suffer from panic attacks many years ago. Definitely a debilitating disorder that, as has been pointed out, often turns into agorophobia and more general anxiety, as you try to avoid every possible triggering situation. One Christmas, my sister, realizing my father's " It's all in your head " admonitions were not helping and being a gentle, understanding soul, she gifted me the book Don't Panic! by R. Reid Wilson, PhD http://snipr.com/1nwwl (Amazon link) It was immensely helpful. I just gobbled it up (aka, read it) and though I also bought many others myself, it was by far the best, and I credit it and my sister's patience with my recovery. Hope this helps someone else, -Erin http://www.zenpawn.com/vegblog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
