Tam,
Thank you for explaining this so well.  Specifically, I find I can learn something like this so well, and it takes away from living.
 
Yet I find I'm a slow learner.  Maybe what's been slow about me learning, is that learning is in a social environment, where I've been in negative situations, and don't wish to go into them again.
 
I can certainly find many excuses not to go into situations, but I'm trying to force myself to repeat the experiences with postive outcomes.

Absolutely. I totally walk around fearing another attack when I have one. Its amazing the aftershock of an attack too. And agoraphobia can start so quickly because we learn new things so well and when we have a attack somewhere or while doing something we quickly learn to associate the attack with that place or activity thus causing us to fear and avoid it.

Panic disorder can appear as a result of prior anxiety attacks. Individuals who suffer from anxiety attacks may be so concerned about having another attack that they develop panic disorder. When panic disorder becomes severe it may also result in agoraphobia and severely interfere with the individual’s ability to live a normal life.
