I'm sorry that it has taken me so long to post but I have had alot of personal issues that caused my condition to act up.
I've been having severe panic attacks but my doctors say that I can learn to control them and I believe that I can. I never had one at the theatre though, being at the theatre gave me a place to go to not have to think of my problems.
I wish to step out on my own though and help those that have more of a chance at theatre then I do.
If I donate my paintings to help nonprofit theatres they can do the same thing for children in need as they did for me.
If I help causes it can help them pay for the research needed to do procedures like the one that helped save me. The sooner that happens the less people will have to go through what I did with years of pain.
I've decided that instead of going to collage, which many of you know was a dream of mine. I will try to help by donating my paintings when I can.
I just need to find different health auctions to help me with that because anyone who knows me knows that I can't afford a gallery of my own. Although that would be ideal seeing as how I can't drive and could spend all day there, either painting, answering the phone or helping someone that came to visit.
In the meantime I'll just do what I normally do and paint with what I can.

Angela, I feel for you, having to go through pain and anxiety, as you do.
But you are strong, and a dear, loving person, and I know you will prevail.
Hang in there. You never know when things might get easier.
My love to you.

Hi Angela,
I just stumbled into your blog and am sympathetic to your plight with those bloody panic attacks.
I have to say that if you are pre-menopaulsal 40-50 they can be a real torture. I suffered with them and as you know they can be debilitating. But, hang in and if all the behavioural therapy and relaxation techiniques don't work -then try what finally 'cured' me - Paxil! Plus, you have to work with your own common sense and challenge yourself. Little by little you gain confidence and then one day you stop and think - "WOW, I haven't thought about panic in an age!

Thank you to all of you!!! That really means alot! Although these panic attacks are bad they aren't half as torturing as the seizures that I had. I am blessed not to have them anymore. I am also blessed to get kind comments from you all. :)
Sherrill,
Nobody should have to go through panic attacks. At my age I suppose I shouldn't know what menopause is like but I had alot of the same symptoms. Hot falshes, etc. etc. very annoying! I have to go through all of that again when I get that age but I know that I am lucky as we all are. I'm alive and I could be dead!Thank you for commenting!!! I hope that you feel better!
Kudos to you Angela. I admire your noble wish to help others so they don't get to experience the pain you've gone through. I know how it feels though mine is of a different type. And reagrding the panic attack, believe your doctors. You can. Like me, I've learned to swallow the pain of realizing my condition every time I order my antidepressant meds at http://www.buytramadol.ca.
