> What do you wish they did when you were having a panic attack?
I wish someone explained to me what was happening to me and that I wouldn't die. I wish my parents comforted me. I wish they made me feel secure. I wish I got some therapy or meds to deal with them.
I'm really lucky I don't have agoraphobia now. I had it as a kid and then it went away.
I think some of my personality problems may have resulted from my childhood anxiety disorder going unnoticed. I felt alone, ignored and never secure. My social life is virtually nonexistent and I'm sure being a strange kid with problems didn't help me with learning how to socialize.
I also suffered from episodes of derealization. They were very strange. The world didn't feel real to me. I felt like I didn't exist. I felt like I was floating and not really there. It was strange.
