Intro

Hello everyone (approximately, let's say 9 people total will read this),

This is my journal of bouts I've had with anxiety along with some random posts that pertain to panic disorder with agoraphobia. A good friend of mine who is currently struggling with this disorder suggested I do something like this. I thought it was a good idea.

At this point in my life, I felt I've done a decent job handling my Panic Disorder with Agoraphobia. The first panic attack I can remember happened when I was 15. Gradually I developed panic disorder with agoraphobia. But, through help from family, friends, prayer, and a ton of reading on the matter, I've somehow gotten my undergraduate degree and my law degree. I've been working as an attorney for 2 years now and I have a wonderful girlfriend. So things are great to say the least.

That being said, I still feel some anxiety now that I'm down to 25 mg of Zoloft, of which I take only 4-5 days/week on average. At one point I was on 100 mg every day. I've began to feel things more: both the highs and lows.

But! On a scale of 1-10, 1 being no panic at all, and 10 being a full-blown panic attack, I haven't had anything above a 6 in a long time. I can't remember the last time I had a full blown attack. But let's not jinx it.
