[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 643316, member: 1550"] IC, I had severe panic disorder AND generalized anxiety disorder AND depression... the whole nine yards. For a period years I could not go to a crowded place because I was afraid of passing out and I'd have to be near a bathroom or an exit. That meant I missed things I loved, like baseball games and concerts. I didn't like wide open spaces either so forget the picnics or I'd have a panic attack and run and run until I found the parking lot and the car. I am not an Aspie, but I am also not neurologically typical. School gave me such horrible panic attacks that often I'd just walk out in high school and take the bus somewhere else. I wasn't trying to get out of school to get my parents into trouble. I just couldn't handle the explosion of panic inside of me. School was scary to me because if I panicked and started to scream, I'd be embarassed and there were no close exits to leave or not bathrooms near my classrooms and I would have had to ask permission first before going anyway. I was so nervous in school, I learned very little. A medication was needed to save me from becoming agoraphobic. Sonic at least is not particularly nervous or panicky in familiar situations. With me, it did not matter. If I felt trapped, I would start the symptoms and not be able to stop them. But, yes, panic disorder and anxiety, for any reason, can severely limit what you do. [/QUOTE]
