Hi, I'm Kate, and I experience panic attacks.

I suppose I should write about this, because years down the road it'll be interesting to see what I've done.

So I've got panic disorder.

I have some neurological pills that I can take "as needed". So when I feel something approaching that I know I will either not be able to quelsh on my own, or would be incredibly taxing, it helps a lot. And it's just enough to drive the edge down so I can work, think clearly, etc. Not enough that the problem is invisible and not enough that I crash when the meds wear off.

Thanks for the tip. A couple of friends also have a similar prescription for when things get really gross. I'm hoping that's what I can do.

I've got my first appointment to talk to a psychologist tomorrow. Hopefully we can bash this thing in its face!
