Hi
I joinied this forum in May 2004 and managed to get my panick attacks/anxiety pretty under control apart from the occasional blip, ut this time I am in a real mess.
We went to holidays to Mexico two weeks ago and I was panicking about the long flight for weeks before. I managed to do the flight and arrived in Mexico with the help of a few drinks or two. The first few days of the holidays was great then I started to fell really panicky, we had booked day trips etc and I couldn't go cause I was in such a state of panic. The result was a trip to the Doctors in Mexico to get some Valuim as I was convinced that I wasn't going to make it home. My other half had to basically hold me up to get me on the plane and then get a wheelchair at the other end cause thought I was going to collapase (what a mess)
Since coming back I have virtually taken to my bed as it is the only place I feel safe, i was supposed to return to work today and after a sleepless night couldn't go, I am in a constant state of panic have a bad pain in my side which is adding to my anxiety and in the middle of the night last night was convinced I had DVT after the long flight.
I feel like a zombie, don't want to speak to anyone, I can't concentrate on anything, Iam convinced I am going to die any minute am just counting the hours till night time till I can take a sleeping tablet to get some rest for a few hours.
I also have a dreadful thirst and am drinking loads of water which I'm not sure if that is in my head also, my temp is normal but my pulse is really fast which I'm sure is due to the anxiety.
Sorry for the ramblings but I feel so bad, I have tried to get up today but felt like was going to collapse and had to go back to my bed.
