Well, things seem to be getting worse. I'm now experiencing panic attacks daily. The second i begin to realise I might have one, I'm too late. The feeling begins to close in on me. I try and ignore it, I try and not take anything for it, but it eventually wins. I was hanging out with my new girlfriend, when outta no where I began to feel the first waves of panic. I tried to hold out and relax, but the more I did that the worse the waves got. I went into her bathroom and took an Adivan. Its been about 1 hour and I am now slightly beginng to feel better. The part I hate about all of this is the feeling that I'm going "off the deep end", so to speak. Like i feel ( at the time of panic) that I need to escape the feelling. I get really scared. I really want the feelings to go away :( I feel trapped and feel the sense of shame, embarrassment, and over loss of control of my emotions. I dont know what to do with myself.
Well, now i'm at home and I'm going to call just about every psychiatrist that my issurance covers, to see if I can meet with one soon. I dont know how much longer I can do this, I feel that if it keeps getting worse I might have a heart attack or somethintg.
Thanks for all the feedback and stuff. The more i can learn about my disorder, the better I can help treat myself. The more knowledge I can gain on the subject, the more personal experiences I can read, the more I feel like I'm on a road to a better way.

DanielOh, and this might be a dumb question, but I did have coffee this morning and am wondering if the withdrawl from the coffee could have triggered the panic? Thanks
