I can't think of any movie that triggered my panic attacks. However, hospital scenes especially where families cry over their dead family members - well, that will get me bawling like a baby within seconds!

I share your sentiments. I like Peter Dinklage from his character in Death at a Funeral, which he played in both UK and US version (I think). He is one of the best actors at the moment and I love his nonchalant attitude in GOT. I despise the little pr*ck of a prince, which is now the King. It's Joffrey or Jeoffrey? I have always liked Lena Headey, so it was good to see her in GOT. I haven't read the books, which I'm going to get into soon (I hope!).

I can't think of anything because reality shows annoy me. I stopped watching American Idols long time ago. I think the last reality show I watched was The Voice, which was good. Other than that, hmmm.. I don't know, my friends seem to think I'm crazy for watching Grey's Anatomy

I don't like being in a tube or a crowded place where my skin touches another person. I think it is because there are too many people that I do not know. When it comes to shaking hands, I'm fine with it. That is because most hands that I shake are people I already know or a first-time meeting with someone that I have engaged in prior to phone calls/emails (examples: lawyers, friends of a friend etc).

I have a fear of seeing my gynaecologist especially after I had the Bartholin cyst drained out. After several routine check-ups, there was nothing wrong with me. I do not have any infections what-so-ever, and yet, every time I "feel" something is wrong and I know I should see her, I dread it. She's the best gynaecologist I've ever met and I shouldn't feel scared of seeing her, and yet, I do!

My sweetheart does not have SAD, he's more outgoing than I am. He's definitely an extrovert, whereby I'm an introvert. At times, when we are a party, I would find myself feeling uncomfortable. I feel sort of lost, if he had to leave me to mingle with others. I try my best to mingle, as well, and I think I'm slowly getting "out of my shell".

I can relate! My mother passed away 5 years ago, and ever since the day she passed away, I couldn't go to a hospital without having a panic attack. The worse I had was, in fact, a couple of months after she passed away, and my father and I visited my grandaunt in the hospital. Although the hospital was different, it still got to me. I couldn't walk past the entrance and I had to make an excuse because I didn't want my father to know. It was bad, and I was hyperventilating, crying, and I just froze.

Hi! I am glad that I found this forum because for so long, I have been looking for a place for me to vent or talk to people who could relate to the things that I had experienced in the last few years. I lost my mother about 5 years ago, and ever since then, I have always had panic and anxiety attacks. I remember at one point, I was rather depressed. This was not something that I could share with my siblings or father, because I felt as if they would brush it off (not that they would, I suppose I was just not comfortable in confiding in them). So, I hope I would be able to learn from all of you.... thanks for having me here! Kind regards, Myst

My worse panic attack was when I visited my father's aunt at a hospital. You see, my mother passed away (although in another hospital) a few months prior to my grandaunt being hospitalised. When my father told me about her, I decided to accompany him because I thought it would not affect me. Boy, was I wrong! As soon as I entered the hospital, I started to panic and sweat. I was hyperventilating before I even went up to where my aunt's hospital room was. After that, I decided to stay away from hospitals. I think I only managed to visit one when I had to go for a surgery.
