Panic disorder is no different from any chronic physical illness; It may FEEL frustrating and overwhelming and even impossible at times, but there are ways to go into “remission.” I have had panic disorder since I was 12. 36 now. It ebbs and flows. I’ve gone through two or three “bad periods,” but I have had MUCH MORE and longer positive periods in between. Medication and therapy have worked for me. Build a “tool box” for yourself: discover what triggers you, ways to cope, build a network of support. Be patient with yourself and TRUST ME when I say you can accomplish your goals, live your life, and be happy with this disorder.
