How do you live with someone with panic? I have had panic disorder ever since I was around eight years old. I just thought I was nervous, but as the years went by, I found myself diagnosed with social phobia, bi polar, agoraphobia with panic disorder. Yes, it has been a tough road for me. It seemed everything was a big nightmare, going to school was a challenge. Living with panic affects everyone around you, since I have agoraphobia I must not be alone. I guess you are wondering why, I really don't know how to answer that question. At one point, I went around to motels, and assisted living nursing homes trying to figure where I could go for I wont be left alone. Crazy hu? Yes, it may seem so simple for a person looking in, but for me its really huge. I have been to therapy for so many years, and tried breathing techniques, rapid eye movement, and it seems nothing has helped. I have taken a variety of different antidepressants. Paxil did help my depression and a little with anxiety At the present, I have listened to several self-help audio tapes and it sounds so easy just don't panic, its not real! The nightmare still haunts me everyday. I presently have a wonderful boyfriend and its hard for him since it seems I am scared of a lot of things and he wants me to be better.
