Hi, I'm Thomas and I have panic disorder

[wolfershd]

Hello, my name is Thomas and I like to exercise and play video games. I developed panic disorder over a period of time after I read a story of a 20 year old man dying to a blood clot after playing video games for 12 hours. Now whenever I experience chest, leg, head, etc. pain I get quite worried and tend to freak out. I freaked out 3 times a day for 2 weeks before being admitted to a mental institution and since then my panic has been made moderately controllable. Ever since reading that article I've been exercising frequently, taking breaks every hour of sitting, using supplements to slow the time it takes to form blood clots etc. I'm glad to know the fear of dvt seems relatively common and I hope to be able to beat it along with the help of this forum.
