Hi i'me a new member and i have found it very reassuring reading all your posts. I first sufferd with anxiety and panic attacks 18 years ago.
I managed to beat it and was well for 14 years. Then my mum died from a brain tumour and my world fell apart then 4 years later my dad died of cancer. One day out of the blue i had a full blown panic attack and i have been struggling with this for the past 4 years. I've had ups and downs but at the moment im'e on a real downer. I have had counselling twice and it did help but i know from the first time this happens recovery comes from within yourself. when you stop being afraid it will leave you. I just haven;t figured out how to do that this time. Being scared every day is a nightmare. I'me scared to go out, i'me scared to be on my own, ime scared to go to work even though i do all these things. The strange symptoms i get are hard to cope with but it is a comfort to read all your posts and know i am not alone.
When i'me having a bad day i read you posts and it picks me up.
Lots of love to you all
