How old you were back then in 1997?
Let's admit it's kind of an anxiety disorder. I don't find diagnoses that useful but panic disorder + agoraphobia and maybe comorbid generalized anxiety disorder, or anything in between. Are there any other symptoms?J

Here is the best way I can explain it: It's like walking through a haunted house, and knowing you are going to get scared, but not when. In other words, I become obsessively worried about worry. I just have this fear ... of fear. It last all day, every day.
