It almost makes me feel like a faker. Since I found this site I've only had about two panic episodes where I felt like I would v* and one was while I actually was sick and had a fever. I feel like now I know it's something other people experience, I can think of my fear more rationally. Also, now I have hope! I've seen that people can OVERCOME this! This place is great.

I do confess, though, that a couple of things that other emets do I've thought about doing since reading about them (ahem . . . using my debit card to punch the buttons on the debit card machine) and I don't think that's healthy.
