What's up Doc?

So after seeing 3 Doctors of varying specialties they have determined between them I am suffering from a Panic Disorder that I have had mild problems with dating back to my teens and all the more recent stress has elevated it to Panic Disorder with Agoraphobia.

Many people have the misconception that Agoraphobia is the fear of leaving ones house and confuse some symptoms of Agoraphobia as being Claustrophobia. If anyone is curious, here is a link that explains Agoraphobia:



On my Doctors suggestion I will be taking some FMLA time off from work while we experiment with more medication combinations so I no longer have the physical side effects of the anxiety attacks and work on making me happy again.
