“I thought I was the only child in the world with this problem. But then I learned different,” Kelly said.“Kids should know they can overcome this and be normal again. They can get through this. They’re not freaks.”
Untreated anxiety can devastate the life of your child...
Katie Waissel has complained that people don’t take panic attacks
seriously enough and said that she wants to raise awareness of the incidents.
The 24 year old singer, who was eliminated from The X Factor last night, was talking about an incident which occurred in Topshop last month, when she fainted after a panic attack
and the press accused her of attention seeking behaviour.
During an appearance on This Mornring, Katie was asked to clear up some of the press rumours and she told Ben Shepherd and Holly Willoughby:
I was actually really ill that day and I suffer from panic attacks. I think panic attacks should be taken a little bit more seriously, I’d love to make people more aware of how many people do suffer from them.
Waissel also denied reports that she had rowed with Cheryl Cole on Saturday, because she didn’t want to sing The Kings Of Leon anthem, ‘Sex On Fire.’ She added:
The papers have said so much over the past few weeks. Cheryl has been an amazing mentor and all of the judges are wonderful so no that wasn’t the case at all.
And on why she has been so badly received by the public and the press, Katie concluded:
I don’t know, I’ve honestly got no idea. I tried to keep my head down and get on with it each week and I wanted to show people it doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from, you just keep your head up, smile and just fight through it.
Were you glad to see Katie go last night? Leave your comments below.
I vote for Katie on this one

cure panic attacks
It is often observed that many people’s top ranking fear is not death but having to speak in public. The joke is that these people would rather be lying in the casket at the funeral than giving the eulogy. Public speaking for people who suffer from panic attacks or general anxiety often becomes a major source of worry weeks or even months before the speaking event is to occur.
A good joke... unless you are a sufferer!
Let's just say that Miss Boyle, the endearingly scatty singing sensation who was discovered on Britain's Got Talent 18 months ago, has not exactly let fame go to her head.
Take, for example, the £300,000 'dream home' she has bought with some of the £10 million she's already raked in.
She may have kitted out the newly-built detached house in her hometown of Blackburn, West Lothian, 'all posh', as she puts it, with wall-to-wall Ikea fittings, a smart docking station for her iPod and a grand piano in her living room.
But her new quarters have remained largely uninhabited by the 49-year-old spinster. Instead, SuBo - as she is known to her millions of fans around the world - is to be found most evenings less than a mile away in the dingy terraced council house where she has lived all her life.
While smart enough, her new home would be far more fitting for, say, a successful young executive couple than the most successful recording artist in the world currently.
Even so, the fragile Susan admits she is yet to feel truly comfortable there. Family friends say she has panic attacks when left alone at the new house at night and worries that her beloved cat Pebbles has not settled in.
Looks like fame and fortune doesn't help to cure panic attacks
About 3,700 homeless veterans nationwide served in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom, according to the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans in Washington, D.C.
Experts expect those numbers to grow because of the lag before many veterans actually turn for help. Tammy Wood, a program manager at Veterans Affairs North Texas Health Care System, said besides housing, many veterans need jobs and mental health services, including treatment for addictions.
Officials stressed that help is available for veterans – and that they hope more are willing to seek the assistance they need.
Glass said he lived in his Jeep or hotel rooms and stayed at relatives' homes after he was discharged from the military in 2004 because of alcohol and other drug-related charges. He then worked odd jobs and tried to avoid people – all while experiencing more nightmares and panic attacks.
"I thought I was going crazy," the 40-year-old said.
On the day we remember the fallen...
The judge issued a warrant for Williams to be arrested and brought to court in a custody van.
Addressing a group of students observing court procedure from the public gallery, the judge explained: "Mr Williams advises that he suffers from anxiety and panic attacks if he has to travel on public transport.
"He says he is currently on medication for this, prescribed by his GP, so he is not coming.
"Uh uh, no good! He has had a month to work out how to get here.
"He is going to have a bigger panic attack in the dock when he does turn up. I have issued a warrant not backed for bail that says he is a wanted man and requires all constables to arrest him on sight."
Sounds like the law is unsympathetic to panic attack sufferers as well...
