Anyone get hyper about trivialities?

Or another way

Do you blame ataxia for panic attacks?

Damper or cure?

Hi Bernard, Yes, I think ataxia causes more anxiety. I don't have panic attacks, though I think ataxia can cause those too. I worry more about trivial things, so you're not alone in this. What helped me was talking with a therapist about my ataxia and all that concerned me! Also eating healthy, exercise and getting enough rest helps. Take care... ;o)
