> I wish they had understood too. It is disappointing, especially to a child who is so utterly dependent (naturally) on their parents.
I just feel like my parents, especially my Mom didn't do enough to try to help me. It was very obvious that I had a problem. No one knew what was happening to me. It took years before I found out about panic attacks.
> I don't know why you got them. Maybe it was a difficult time for you that they didn't know how to deal with.
I'm thinking I have a genetic predisposition to them. I have the behavioural inhibition trait. That and my parents working all the time didn't give me enough security.
> Well you know we notice you, and there are lots of people who will pay attention now when you tell them something is wrong.
Thanks for noticing me. It helps me to know people care and want to help me.
I'm just feeling sorry for myself. I just wonder if some of my problems now could have been prevented if only my panic disorder was discovered and treated.
