Hi all,
I am new to this site. I am 33 years old female and I would like to have chat and hear other people opiniums, who are suffering or suffered from anxiety, panic attacks.
I had my first panic attack maybe 5 years ago, but I didn't know it is panic attack, I just thought that I am tired or have not eat enough.
I forgot about this till last year, I got my really bad panic attack on my way to work. I didn't know what is going on with me, I felt dizzy, disorientated...once I fell this I start to panic. My fear is that I will collaps and no one helps me. I hate this feeling, it makes me cry. I went to see my doctor, but I didn't feel she cares so much and I didn't want to take antidepresant as I am aware now that all this is in my head, but I still feel fear. I read book about panic attacks, start to do joga and use essential oils. This really helped me and I was free of panic attack for a few months. But they are back. The most safe place for me is my home, I have fear to go outside, I am trying avoid crounds. I am afraid to go to Christmas market. I use Rescue remedy drops, which seems to help me, but sometimes I feel more anxious. I bought Kalms tablets today as I am off to Vienna for holiday and it is a big city. I have already fear that I will get panic attack there. My boyfriend is very supportive, but I just wish I am more fun and free of this fear. I used to enjoy my life, go alone to city with lots of people( as I lived in London) and I used to love it. I don't understand what changed me.
Is there anyone in similar situation who can share the tips?
Thank you so much.
