After reading many posts here I realise that its the anticipation of the panic attack that really does my head in. So that is where I will start and also read through this program.
I remember last week our company had a bowling evening. It was in a high rise building where you had to cross bridges inside to get from one venue to another; and because I didn't know where the stairs led to from the entrance, I literally made myself sick anticipating walking over bridges 3 storeys up...only to find (once I just faced the fair and went forward) that the stairs led directly into the bowling alley - I had the time of my life.
