My doctor asked me to visit a woman who lived near me who was so bad off..panic can be mild or murder..and hers was awful. She couldn't leave ehr house..and driving was out of the question..so we visited for 3 weeks and finally she was able to get in my car and go to my doctor..now she emails regular, is back teaching school.
There are all degrees of this disorder, some are so mild and can manage fine..even goes away on its own..but the quicker you get on top of it the easier it is to overcome...
Sometimes it is even funny...I used to go to NY with a friend who had such a fear of heights she would just about faint, I had to go in the hotel room first and shut the drapes..we were always on the 35 or 36 floor.....being in NY with her was interesting!!! |
