PhobiasWhat gives you the heebie-jeebies?

If someone had taken the time to explain to me (a) what a panic attack was, and (b) healthy hearts don't beat particularly regularly anyway, especially when dosed up on adrenaline, things wouldn't have been nearly so bad - and wouldn't have gone on for as long as they did.
I'm better now, honest. My panic attacks are caused by entirely different things these days...
