I wouldn't worry about what anyone thinks, with the exception, maybe, of your spouse. Unfortunately, it is very hard to make someone who doensn’t deal with this understand how dibilitating it can be.

I have the same problem and i don't think that anyone who hasn't expirienced it himself could understand it... Some ppl are supportive, some aren't.. Stick to the first ones and try to organize your life as it suits you... I also hate the 'relax' and 'don't worry over nothing' advices : ) Best wishes!

But rather than make other people understand, why not take steps (drug-free ways) to control it? A healthy diet that naturally raises serotonin and endorphin levels and balances blood sugar is going to improve your anxiety by 75%. Seeing an endocrinologst to balance your hormones (especially if you're a woman) will probably take care of the other 20%. Then working to re-train your mind to react differently will get you back to 100%. This could take about 6 months, but I'm sure you'd feel it's worth it. Without getting your body fit, you will never be able to "think positive" or "calm down" because your heart is pounding, you're feeling dizzy, you feel trapped and need to escape, and nothing is any fun because you're so worried about having a panic attack.

All of which I have learnt to cope with and manage through understanding and applying solutions (I'm not a believer in long term use of medications. I use visualisation and other means to deal and live a "normal" life) People who have not experienced it nor encountered it are just ignorant to it. I would suggest doing research and giving them factual information (get brochures or print out studies you find online) to help them understand that it is a real thing. Through that knowledge they can help you cope and find therapeutic solutions so that you can deal with it. Good Luck.
