Sorry if I'm posting a lot, but this is the first place I can pose questions that don't have quacks and loonies on the bb.
I guess I wanted to know how many people here were diagnosed at an early age? I was fourteen when diagnosed in 1983. In looking back I had symptoms for years prior to that.
What makes me a bit sad, is to not know what life is like without knowing this irrational fear exists in me. I have fought my whole life and have one of those sad stories that could be on a day time TV show,but I don't want to dwell on that. I am happy of the person I've become and if PD made me stronger, I'm happy with that...but.. I still to this day,have nightmares of having to return to school after being gone for sixteen years...and I just can't remember moments of my life before panic disorder took me over.
Do any of you have this same problem?
How did your PD manifest itself?
