I am a teenager and I have had a Panic disorder and anxiety for almost a year now. So far I have been handling it pretty well, but sometimes I just can’t control my thoughts, I begin to question myself and my sanity. Sometimes I get scared that I will go insane and have to be locked up in an asylum Is there any way to stop this unreasonable thinking process of mine. I don’t want to be insane!

My name is Monica. I have been diagnosed with Panic disorder. I’ve gotten better, and now I want to help people who are suffering with Panic disorder, as bad as I used to suffer from it. i want people to understand they don’t have a mental illness, and they DO NOT have to live with this. Also, medicine did not help me. Feel free to ask me questions. I’m willing to help anyone, or talk to anyone who just wants to talk.

Do you find that people, especially at work, are unaccepting and have trouble understanding that mental disorders (such as GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder) or panic disorder caused by a chemical imbalance in your brain) are TRUE disabilities?
To gurlygirl20000: You do need to check the Federal regulations and see this is not just “trying to be PC” but it is considered a real disability and one that deserves job accomodations, such as possibly different breaks because of medication making you drowsy, changing hours or allowing work-from-home due to mental disability, and other things like that. It is more serious than just trying to be PC….it’s real and I was asking a serious question.

If you have Ptsd and have a hard time in relationships tell me what you have done to help solve this problem. Please only answer if you are a Psychologist or a someone that has gone threw post-traumatic stress disorder.
