Hi Everyone: Just wanted to let you know that we made it to Vegas and back, safe and sound. My girlfriend took an Ativan before each flight (just to be sure) but she felt quite confident that she could have gone without it. Thanks again for all your words of encouragement. NightRaven

Thanks alot for your emails of advice. Well the trip plans have all been made and we're booked to try again for Vegas. We're both really nervous about how things will turn out. But I'm so proud of my girlfriend for trying again. I don't even care if we don't end up making it, or if she panics during the flight. I'm just glad she isn't letting this thing get her down, or hold her in a shell. Let you know how it goes. Nightraven

I do not like meds either though i know they work for lots of people, i think its just down to your preference. In my situation, the first few months of having panic made it hard to go back to places where i had previously had a panic. So your girlfriend may find it hard going back because she may associate being there with a panic attack. It is a good idea to go back if she can because if she can expose herself to th panic and stick it out she will realise it cant hurt her. Support is the best thing and if you do go and it doesn't work out, supporting her will be the best thing, let her know it doesn't matter and the fact she tried was important. Good luck.

Hello Night-Raven, You are a good boyfriend to have it sounds like, I'm sure you girlfriend appreaciates all your understanding. It is hard to understand this disorder unless you have it. She will get better in time, try little trips and then try a plane, she may want to just ask her doctor for ativan (.5 is very mild, I use it only when I feel really panicky or an attack is coming on) she just puts it under her tounge and it melts. Just the knowledge that she has it in her purse if she needs it can help. I was not big on meds either but so long as you dont have an addictive personality it can help get you over the wall. If you are willing to marry her then you know that she may have this off and on for the rest of her life and I'm sure she wishes she didnt'. Support and encouragement is the best thing to help. Travelling far from home is usually a huge fear of anyone with Panic so litte baby steps are the best thing. maybe try a short plane ride a few times first. Kudos to you for being so supportive.

I re-read my post and considered for a minute that perhaps it looked like I was asking for your opinions on whether we should or shouldn't go to Vegas. That's really not what I was looking for. I was hoping for some input and stories of specific things that provoke your attacks, and whether or not you find it useful to try to face those situations until you find a way not to have an attack... or if you find it best to avoid those things that may cause you to panic. Success and struggling stories will help my understanding. Thanks. Night Raven

Hi Everyone: I don't have panic disorder myself, but I've been living with my girlfriend for 3 years, and she's had it for just over a year of that time. She had her first panic attack on our way to Vegas to be married. We never made that trip. When we first got back home after that failed attempt, she was really sick, and had trouble going to get groceries, or going out to dinner or to my parents house. She got some therapy (she doesn't want to use meds at all, which I support) and things got much better. We even managed to go camping last summer for a few days. I try to be really patient and understanding of everything she goes through. I really love her. But we both feel that not getting married last year changed our relationship, and we talked alot about trying again. She thinks that she might be able to make the flight this time. Both we're both terrified to try. Any advice? Should we try anyways knowing that a failed attempt might be a setback for her?
