ZetaLuvBunny--I am so proud of you for having the courage to say something. It takes a lot of strength to do that and you have shown that you are a very strong person, along with also being a sweetheart.
I think all of us, at times, have some kind of disorder or attack. I know personally that I am a major control freak. I hate when I don't have control of whats going on and it totally makes me panic attack. I think thats why I HATED group projects in college and always ended up doing the whole thing myself--I never trusted that anyone would come through, so I would just take control. I am also the same way with driving--I hate when someone else is driving(especially if I don't really know them)-because I always want to be the one at the wheel. My first semester of freshman year I didn't have a car and had to rely on others and it was NOT a good semester for me.
I think if you can sometimes figure out what triggers panic attacks, or overeating, or being anorexic, it makes your life a little easier. And having a great support system(which it sounds like you have with your new ZTA sisters) never hurts either. By the end of school, all of my close friends knew just to let me drive, not to spring anything on me, and if I was panicky, to give me a hug and let me know they loved me. For me, this has worked, but I have never ruled out the possibility of going on medication. I have worked with a counselor at different points in my life and that has always been great. So I would just search out your options and see what is best for you. And know that I am always hear to listen!
