Hey.....the first step is to physically feel better before you try and accomplish too much....seems that once you start feeling better on the meds you can slowly but surely start living again....of course you can also do exposure therapy while not feeling so great but its just harder imho......i had a panic attack prior to takeoff 1 year ago....i blacked out, seizure like and vomited for hours.......since then I have flown 4 times....believe me, it wasnt easy facing a plane again.....and im still finding it hard and cant do flights longer than 3 hours yet.......im still struggling with panic everyday but hold down a corporate job, workout, go out as much as i can but many days while i am doing these things, the panic is still there.....you have to act 'as if' you are fine and eventually , hopefully you will be.....start slow and the hell with the neighbors....this is YOUR LIFE and they have no say in it.....dont care about others.....CARE about YOURSELF......seriously, do whats best for you and dont think about anyone else that has no saay in your life....good luck
