How I Achieved My Cure of Panic Disorder and Agoraphobia: 
An Open Letter to Those on the Healing Path

In this letter, I have chosen to focus on my healing, and to say only a few words about my long period of suffering.  Chances are, you already know – firsthand or secondhand – more than you’d care to know about the suffering!  My own suffering had its unique form, but essentially, it was no different from what you probably already know.

After my first two panic attacks, I awakened each morning to an instantly racing heart, hyperventilation, and cresting waves of fear and apprehension.  My range of activity for each day was dictated by my agoraphobia, and my range gradually got narrower and narrower.
