I live in New Zealand, I started getting panic attacks about 20 years ago. I also had agoraphobia but managed to recover from that after 2 years of trying, and without meds. I work full time now and enjoy most things but still have anxiety where I find it hard to be in claustrophobic situations and that includes sitting in traffic and stuck on public transport. I am always positive and sites like this help with so much support. Nice to meet you all!
