If you went to a therapist what do you think what help you? Just imagine you left the appointment, what would make you feel better? I just know that for me when things where just way too much stress wise is when I would have a panic attack. Once things got better I wouldn't have one for a while.

I think some people here have been to a therapist. But I think that they mostly see a neurologist and a therapist on the side. Maybe they can share if it helped them? I noticed that people here that have a great neurologist who tells them what to expect do better managing everything.

Does your host family help with your decisions or are they more hands off? Do you tell them I am worried about having to go back, not getting better, doctor not calling your parents, stuff like that? Did you tell them you have panic attacks?
