My mother's side of the family has it. I found out a couple of years ago that one of my cousins has panic attacks. It was kept quiet for many years. My other cousin has mental health issues to.
She found relatives in the family tree as far back as in the 1800's with "Nervous" problems. They didn't know anything about Mental health problems in the 1800's. People didn't mention the word fear. I didn't talk about it at first.
I would be talking to someone,and have a quick panic attack,and my talking would suddenly stop. I would be looking at the expression on the face of the people who I would be talking to,and they would look alarmed,or shocked. That doesn't happen very often any more.
It's inherited. Everyone's individual personality makes it different,and complicated. Oh I hate this (These) mental health problems. These problems shift,so I can never figure out what it's going to do next. It's tormenting.
Then the Depression,and OCD throw me into a tail spin sometimes. I have been fighting the whole mixture for a long time,and I get so tired of it.
Hang in there. Thank goodness for the Lord,and the Bible. Thats what keeps me alive. BF
