Hi Sarah,
That's exactly what I have and that's why I find very difficult challenging situations like going on a bus ride, shopping, driving etc. because they don't scare me, it's just the thought of having an attack while I'm out that makes me anxious. The worse thing is knowing that it can happen anywhere and anytime without any specific trigger and very often at night while I am asleep. I feel I am fighting against something invisible I can't identify and that it would be easier if I were scared of something specific. As it is, I feel I am scared of nothing and everything at the same time.
What can I do?

Thanks!

Members,
 
Panic disorders are commonly associated with anxiety attacks and are in fact closely related to anxiety attacks. Panic disorders actually are a type of anxiety disorder. Panic disorder itself is the fear of having a spontaneous panic attack. Such an attack occurs with no warning and may occur in either morning or night. In most cases, there appears to be no link to what the person is doing and the appearance of the attack. In fact, some people even claim that they felt quite calm just before the attack.
