Hi Superchick,

I can totally relate to what you're saying. I have less depression and more anxiety and panic. After struggling with it for 12 years I thought that I had it beat completely. I...

Oh yeah stress will totally intensify the worries and neurosis. When I was your age I saw a therapist for a while but I couldn't really be honest about things I was feeling because I was embarrassed...

Sounds like you have a lot going on and might need to talk to someone about it. Do you think you could talk to a therapist about all that's going on to help you make sense of all of this? I'm not a...

Yes, exactly! That's my biggest struggle and what effects my with my self esteem. It not at all powerful and manly to have panic attacks and my fear is as soon as they see me have one then all...

Sounds like it's a lot of fear of being fearful or fear of having a panic attack. I can certainly relate to that and when you have that feeling you definitely will become agoraphobic. When I was at...
