Hi Sheri, You have come to the right place! Please feel free to roam the site at your own pace. If you look to the left of the screen under "TOOLS" you will find many supportive tests. These tests are not diagnostic tools and are not a replacement or substitute for a physician's advice. The purpose of these tests is to prepare you with information that you can present to your physician. When you're finished the test, you can either print your Final Report or email it directly to your doctor. We also have developed a Panic Program. This program is 12-weeks and involves the tools mentioned above. Each session is based on the previous session, so we strongly advise that you work slowly through the program and not jump ahead. If you have any question or concerns with our €œTOOLS€, you can contact Susanne or me at support@paniccenter.net. We are the Support Specialist for The Panic Center and are open to any questions or concerns you may have. Keep us posted, Josie

Hi everyone, wow, found this site last night! From what I've read so far, I think it's brilliant. Have been not too bad lately, but yesterday had an attack on the motorway! Sometimes I can get through it, sometimes I can't. Yesterday was one of those can't, & took the easy way out by asking my friend to get off the motorway. Ended up being in a panic state for most of the day. Mostly feeling angry with myself. So totally, disgusted & fed up that after 6 yrs I am still like this! So, last night started to look up the internet about agorophobia again, and found this. I was reading the thread about those that dread driving. I am fine on roads that I know, but ask me to go on a motorway & I flip. This is whether I am driving or as a passenger, although driving myself is slightly worse. My main fear seems to be around the feeling of not being in control. On a motorway I feel so out of control because you can not just get off whenever you want. The feeling off the traffic moving really fast in the one direction really unnerves me. Whenever I go on a motorway I feel like I am going to hell. That's how strong the feeling is, it's like a horrible feeling of dread and death and fear, and it hangs over and it feels dark & scary even if the sun is shining so bright. I really fear getting caught in a traffic jam! That is really being out of control. I feel like I am trapped, and that I will never ever get off this motorway, like I will be trapped there fore the rest of my life. Even typing this right now, I know it sounds so daft & unreasonable, but when I am there, in the situation, it is so real and alive!!!All reason goes out of the car window, along with my sanity. Also, I was reading the thread by Shedav6 about her dreaded trip to CO in February. Boy, could I relate to that!!! I was sooooo pleased that she went through with the trip and even enjoyed herself!!! Anyway, my fears are about not being in control. I am able to function quite normally within a reasonable area around where I live, I very rarely get panic attacks now in my safety zone. But I am avoiding going on a train. I had a major attack on one 4 yrs ago this June. So, I refused to go on one until last May. Went on one with my friends & our kids to Edinburgh to see a show. Had
