> I am highly irritated when 2 people speak to me at the same time or when there is lots of conversation around me. I hate the TV being too loud. I hate people shouting over the too loud TV. Music I don't like has the same effect. My irritation becomes visible. Lately, I am having a problem with croweded rooms or shopping centres. These bring on panic attacks very quickly. If someone gets near my bubble space I want to blow all my fuses. I am utterly panicked at being confined. One of the reasons I never learnt to drive. I become claustrophobic when larger vehicles enclose me on either side. I would have caused way too many accidents with my hypervigilence. I cope as a passenger though.

>Sabrina,
I have almost all of the same panic triggers that you listed! Driving was the worst. The lexapro has helped quite a bit. Have you found something that helps you?
