I've just to walked out of work because I felt so overwhelmed with panic I just had to get away. I told my colleagues I was having a panic attack and I had to go and they just looked at me like I was barmy. I was signed off work and put on prozac 7 months ago then I got better again but the dreaded anxiety has just crept back and I feel like i'm back at square one. I only feel safe and normal when i'm at home but as soon as i'm surrounded by a lot of people, even if it's just the hairdressers I feel panic come over me and I feel like i've got to get away. I've just called the GP and i'm waiting for someone to call me back but I feel so silly that I can't control it and pull myself together. Does anyone else feel weak for being anxious or do you believe it's really some kind of imbalance in the brain and we can't help it?
