Hi everyone,
I just wanted to introduce myself. I am a long term sufferer of panic attacks and health anxiety. Admittedly it is better now I'm older and a tiny bit wiser but when I have a bad spell I really go through a bad spell which is normally triggered by some awful symptom that I then obsess over and end up in a vicious cycle of symptom, panic and feeling low! I also have specific phobias which I try really hard to conquer. I find it sad sometimes that life can seem a challenge but then over the years I prefer to look at is as an achievement and be proud.
I hope this forum can be a friendly support to me plus I hope to be able to help others. My knowledge of panic is quite big unfortunately!! This gets me nowhere on pub quizzes but hopefully can here!
