hello everyone!
My name's Sarah and I've been suffering from panic attacks for just under a year. After having my first panic attack, the doctors got it wrong and told me that I'd had an epileptic fit and put me on medication for epilepsy. Needless to say, it didn't help me at all and I felt increasingly scared to leave the safety of my home. It wasn't until my boyfriend and I diagnosed me as having panic attacks that things started to get better. I am on medication, which does help take the edge of the panic. I also see a therapist and use relaxation tapes. I am now able to leave the house and, although I do still get nervous sometimes, I am finally starting to realise that things can get better.
It is websites like these that have made me see that I am not alone and that it is important to offer one anotheer advice!!
