Your writing is a lush pleasure to read, even though the subject is so clearly terrifying to you. You may be interested to know that I came out of the closet about clinical depression years ago, when I agreed to be interviewed on a television news program about my long-term symptoms and recent successful medication. It was an eye-opener to find that airing this previously unmentionable malady led to solidarity with several cousins, who confessed to the same affliction after seeing the show. You are terrific!

Your writing talks to the people, both those who suffer from this conditon and those who are just learning about it. All my best wishes for your eventually freeing yourself of this heavy burden and for bringing it to light to many others.

I am so glad to see this important topic discussed openly. The best medicine for people suffereing from these disorders is knowing they are not alone and have resources and other people to talk with. This instantly can reduce some of the panic attached to the feeling of desperation. Thank you, Keep up the good work Deb from Boston Rachel,

I think you are incredible for doing this and I believe you will benefit greatly from sharing your story. In addition, you are an amazing writer; your words flow wonderfully and create vivid visual images. I hope you can also use this to share more of your life, or write other stories to give to the rest of us! Lots of good luck with this. With love, Jane (Seibel) Walker Rachel,

I think it's so important that those of us with panic disorder stop feeling ashamed and embarassed, especially since it seems that most people do not judge us as we fear they will, and the stigma is largely in our own heads. Panic disorder is so widespread that I have, since "coming out" about it, been hard-pressed to find anyone who doesn't know someone afflicted with the disorder, or who hasn't had panic attacks themselves on occasion. I think that because so many people who don't have the disorder have experienced panic attacks at some point, they are far more understanding of the disorder than they otherwise would be. If anyone wants to read my own blog post about dealing with panic disorder, the link is http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=33769341&blogID=132765638&Mytoken=E298E673-8BFF-4098-95392D6372742A9A275993890 I'm not sure if you need to be registered with myspace to view it, so I apologize if you do and you can't view it, but I believe it is visible to anyone. Thanks to Rachel for being brave and bringing people with this underpublicized disorder together in a comfortable and supportive forum. :-) Thank you for finding my blog on myspace and inviting me to join your community.
