Women are twice as likely to suffer from anxiety and panic disorder than men.

I get anxiety attacks. I'm in college, so sometimes before I got a test back I start feeling like I am choking or having a heart attack. Some smells trigger it too, like the burning rubber smell of a car crash (I've been in one and my best friend got killed in another one shortly afterwards, I don't know if it's considered a panic attack or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). The panic attacks come out of nowhere. I could be thinking about the future and freak out about not getting into the grad school I want to go to and I'd feel like I'm shrinking or falling backwards from everything else. It's hard to explain, but it's a really scary feeling. I went to the doctor and he gave me Klonopin, and it helps a lot.
