well I have been a member here for only a short while, but after joining i finally went for help amd saw a M.S.W, and a nurse practitioner(?). it felt good to finally talk to someone and vent out all of my life's misery. i am a lesbian, and it has taken me 30 years 1 divorce and a son to finally see the light. i was afraid of not being accepted by my family friends and community. but with therapy and medications and the help from everyone here, i have been able to accomplish a lot in these past few weeks. i am not totally panic free but i am on the road to recovery with some help. it also didn't help that my doctor took my off paxil 50mg without slowly tappering me off. i had a very rough 3 weeks, but the lexapro and xanax seeem to be keeping me in check. i feel i am now able to be myself and that is a big weight lifted off my shoulders. thank you to everyone who helped me through my tough nights and everyones support. remember panic looks for fear, everyone has fear, but it's the mind that controls it...........christina

"i am a lesbian, and it has taken me 30 years 1 divorce and a son to finally see the light." <--- That made me laugh out, not in a "HAHA, IDIOT"-way, but in a "HOLY S***T, she's had it tough"-way. :D
Very happy for you, there's nothing worse than not being able to be what you know you are!

Congratulations, Christina! How courageous of you to finally be true to yourself despite the risk you may have felt doing it.
Now you can live as yourself, your real self. Hopefully as you become accustomed to living an openly gay life, your panic will go away.
Again, my congratulations. That was a big step.

Great JOB! I am suffering from panic right now and I remember when I was a teen (17) I was in the hospital like 4 times for chest pain and they said it was stress (I hadn't come out as gay to my mother yet) and that's what it was, she asked me if I was to start to get it off my chest and then I stopped having them! Now there back and hope to get over them soon! =)
