introducing myself

[stormyok10]

Hi All,

Am new to this forum. I am a 59year old grandma of 3 adorable children.
Over the last 20 months I have started having firstly Panic attacks, then now I am suffering Anxiety which is limiting what I do in my life. I have tried meds which dont seem to help any , so now trying to overcome it without any, but it is a struggle, can anyone offer any suggestions?

Hi Stormy and :welcome:

I know you'll find lots of people on here to share your experiences with - we're a friendly bunch.

I'm sure you have already, but a good starting point is to look through some old threads and see how much you have in common with so many people.

Take care

Thank you so much, will give it a try when I get home from work, hope all is well with you. Do you work or are a student? x

Hi Stormy,

I work and am just on my lunch break. Gone for a walk which always makes me feel calmer - just having to type this post on my phone so apologies for it being short.

Take care

Hi Pip,
Hope you had a good day at work. I have had a bit of a bad day so when I finished work I went to the Gym for a couple of hours, helps keep my mind off the nausea & empty feeling I get.
Am thinking I might go back on 15mg of mirtazapine to help with my sleep & help calm me down. Are you on any medication & does it help, you read so many stories of it not doing any good, but others that say they can't live without it, I get mixed feelings. Am going to try & look back on some old threads tonight. Have a good night x
