Hi, I am new to this group. I suffer from panic disorder (for 20 years or so). It has progressed to the point I have finally decided to reach out for help and found this group. I am looking forward to the help I can receive :) So far I have already learned some great coping methods. I am a 31 year old married mother of 3 with a long family history of mental illness. I am currently a stay at home mom and have been for 13 years ( due to two of my children having health problems).
