Is panic really a bad thing?

(Feel free to move this if not in correct spot)

Really is it? I mean, yeah sometimes it can be crippling but I like to feel sometimes that panic/anxiety gives a certain spice to live. As insane as that sounds it keeps me at an edge I guess.

Or, maybe my thinking is so warped from being under an amazing amount of it that I'm actually kind of enjoying it now.

I do work best when im under pressure

I panic easily :P Well not that easily but yea I panic...Sometimes I'm just a deer in front of headlights! :Eek:

This is how I got through high school. Putting literally an entire semester's worth of research paper off until the night before it's absolutely due if you wanna graduate? You know how I swang.

Fear isn't bad, helps to protect you. But panicing never helps anything.

It's normal. Panic gives you adrenaline, no? So it would help you, given that you're not panicking like all the time.

I Panic Alot, but I don't let it control me.

Again, that's fear, same with rage. Panicing means a loss of common sense, acting without thinking. Never.. a good thing.

I might work slightly faster under pressure, but I'm usually very organised with my time and don't usually experience a great deal of pressure on my time. However, when I am pressed to perform where the limitation isn't my organisational skills, I usually do okay. Provided you don't let the panic control you, it can be a blessing.

I had some trouble with panic attacks, can be set off by the silliest things. It feels horrible and so yeah i think panic is a bad thing
