well i just joined this site hoping for some understanding. i recently started having anxiety and panic episodes for the past 2 or 3 months. i dont know if im experiencing this because my husband is getting deployed to japan for 1 year or what. it is the worst feeling i have ever experienced. everyone tells me it will go away in time, but it doesnt feel like it will. i went to the doctor and he said that its from my husband getting deployed. i also feel like im a hypcondriac. im always worrying about my health it seems neverending. i constantly check my neck for lumps because im so scared of getting cancer for some reason. i feel my arm is weak, my eyes twitch. i feel a mess! well if someone can write back that would be real comforting.thanks....
