Do you think people that have Panic Attacks daily are stupid? Would you go places with a person that could have a Panic Attack in the middle of public with you? And also I do take medications for my disorder and am doing much better. Main reason I ask is because I do know some people who feel this way! They will not go in public with someone like me because they say they wont know how to deal with it!

Of course you aren't stupid! You're probably just someone who is under stress and you need to know how to deal with it so you can lead a normal life. If you take medication, for goodness' sake, don't stop taking it. It's very important that you take your meds like the doctor orders them. My husband is bipolar, and until it was explained to him, he would take the meds til he felt better, but then when he stopped, he'd enter into a worse depression than before. Finally someone explained to him that it was no different than being diabetic...it's a lifetime deal, and you NEVER stop taking the meds. So that's an important part of your treatment. Another thing is to get counselling for how to deal with the stress in your life. I know what you're going thru...once I bought a lot of stuff that was really needed, but when I got out to the car, I got to thinking about all the money I'd spent and took it all back in the store and got my money back. And we're not talking junk...we're talking things like toothpaste, milk, bread, essentials, things like that. But I had a major panic attack and had to take it back. I don't remember what excuse I used, but it must've been good, cause the lady didn't question it. And finally, you could go out in public with me ANY DAY...you could even have an attack while we're out...no prob. Been there, done that, no big deal!

I don't think you are stupid for having the attacks but treatment is available to keep you calm and you could be stupid if you don't at least try to get help.
I have panic attacks also, ever since my son committed suicide. But I take medication for it and it works. So go get some help and quit feeling out of sorts with yourself. There are plenty of other people who have the same problem.

They are not stupid. Do however get some counseling. I would be okay to go out in public with someone like that, but would prefer to know they are being treated.
