erin, Welcome to The Panic Center. We thank you for sharing your story with us today. This support group is full of supportive individuals who may be able to help you answer some questions regarding panic and anxiety. If you look to the left of the screen under "TOOLS" you will find many supportive tests. These tests are not diagnostic tools and are not a replacement or substitute for a physicians advice. The purpose of these tests is to prepare you with information that you can present to your physician. When you're finished the test, you can either print your Final Report or email it directly to your doctor. We also have developed a Panic Program. This program is 12-weeks and involves the tools mentioned above. Each session is based on the previous session, so we strongly advise that you work slowly through the program and not jump ahead. If you have any questions or concerns with our "TOOLS" you can contact our support department at support@paniccenter.net. Call you local hospital and they may have some numbers of local therapists that are excepting patients. Keep Strong, Josie _____________________________ The Panic Center Support Team.

see, I have been diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and clinical depression.........and i've always been afraid of the dark..I see things that aren't there in the dark, never been able to deal with it. And today I found out my therapist, who I was working with this on, is leaving her job at the end of August. I've never been able to get close to people for the fear of being vunerable and getting hurt if they judge me. I don't trust at all and i've somehow built trust with my therapist and now I have to find a new one, someone i'm gonna worry about.
