Re: New here, suffering badly with panic and fear of dying! Would love some support.
Hello!
I'm 30 and similar to you - I have been suffering for the past 2 months and trust me - you CAN make it better. My anxiety also stems from health worries and before I even realised I had HA I also had a long haul flight (I itched my leg on the flight a lot with false nails on) has bruises on my leg and was convinced I had DVT. I didn't, I'm actually really really healthy.
I don't worry about dying so much as about suffering - and now look where I am - I AM suffering. You can change this, though, we are lucky that we have not had anxiety for long and we have a good chance of not letting these intrusive thoughts get ingrained.
I have just downloaded Paul David's book ''At Last A Life'' and it has really helped to change my mindset, literally overnight. I would reccommend you try reading it. Just google it. I am not saying medication is wrong but the doctors do seem to throw pills at the things (anxiety) they don't understand. You have only been feeling like this for a little while, I do feel you have the chance to work on recovering without medication.
You will NOT be like this forever if you take the right steps. Paul's book will help you do that.(other books will too, his just struck a chord with me.)
