Well, after years of just scanning and gettng wonderful information, I decided to start posting (mainly bc I have firsthand information that many of you have wondered about and seems to be controversial--regarding etizolam). But I will post that in the proper section.

In the meantime, I think you are all wonderful and I appreciate everyone being so willing to share their experiences and offer each other support! Glad to be here!:!

Also, I have searched and searched, but is there a way to create a custom signature like I've seen others do or do you have to reach a certain level for this? Thanks in advance!

A little about me....I'm currently undergoing a LOT of terrible things in life, out of my control but maintaining a positive outlook. My goal is to be in Taiwan teaching English by te end of the year and I know I can accomplish this with my husband. It will just take a lot of hard work. I suffer from severe panic disorder, and my psych dr is doing very well at helping me get that under control. But, as he said, I will have to stay on meds the remainder of my life--which I've already accepted. Anyone who has this knows it affects daily living in ways that most can't imagine. Unfortunately the stigma attached to it doesn't render much sympathy from others and just makes you look "whiney" or "weak" which is not the case. I feel for anyone who suffers chronic anxiety--it IS a type of pain that needs to be dealt with and WILL affect every single aspect of your life.

Hello KV from a fellow newby. I think I'm actually beyond the "greenlighter" status now, though I am a "greenhorn" and wonder if I'm ever in the right place!

I suffer with anxiety/depression even as a small child. It only got worse as my body was wrecked by injury and disease. At present, I'm trying to get some solution for pain...that doesn't ultimately cause MORE pain, emotionally and physically.

IMO, strong will, determination, salty sense of humor will help you reach your goals. I also take anti-anxiety and anti-depressant. Those 2 meds have sustained me through severe physical pain that has yet to be "managed".

I believe that whether you think you CAN or you think you CAN'T...You are correct. :\ You CAN DO this!
 
Wow, Dixi, we sound like twins! My panic disorder has gotten so bad that I've suffered 2 wrecks as a result and now experience complete blackouts for hours at a time when I'm in that state.My body functions and responds, but I have no recollection of anything--almost as if I was asleep during it all. This is a new symptom I need to bring up to my dr. It's as if my fight or flight syndrome sees EVERYTHING as life or death and overcompensates. It's quite embarassing--esp. when I've spent my entire life trying to hide this panic disorder from others. But it's caught up to me now, hence, why I'm on here and seeking out like individuals. Yes, I am on meds too--effexor 150, 1mg xanax, 1mg clonopin, and 2 mg prozasin. So far, it is helping but I still have breakthrough panic episodes. I've also made a very hard decision to never drive again--but this last time was too close a call--I could have killed me or someone else. They are pinning me for DUI, although all in my system was my meds at therapeutic levels, so my defense attorney is fighting that. And its the second (same scenario) DUI in 6 mos so I am never ever driving again. My condition makes it too dangerous.
