Hiya all

My name is Alison and i suffer from PTSD I have been diagnosed with it for 3 years and am trying to cope as best i can. I dont have any children and believe that i am unable too. This is due the severity of abuse i suffered when i was younger. I am 34 years old and suffer from panic attacks alot they have become a part of my everyday life. I dont take medication as i am too scared i will become addicted. I have come on here in the hope of finding some friend who experiance the same or similar feelings as me. I live in hope. xxxx:(

Hi Alison,

Welcome i hope you find a lot of help here and good friends also.

I've been suffering from anxiety and panic attacks for over 2 years now, but recently they are seriously affecting my way of life, so now i am going to try and go on medication and see if they will help me live a bit better.

Take care.

You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself. "I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along."

Hi Alison,

I too suffer from panic attacks. They started last year and have changed my life completely
Like you i refuse medication because of the fear of addiction.
There are times when ive felt i was getting over p.a.s and then something happens that makes them re occur with avengence.
This site has really helped me. The support from the members on here has really touched my heart. Ive made friends that really do understand what we who suffer panic go through.
I know that you will find this site a godsend like i have.
Take care

Hi Alison, I too suffer from PTSD due to being raped about 8 years ago. You can read my post if you like to give you some idea of things that went on in my life.

After a few years I started taking medications and I can honestley say that they help. Nothing will ever take away what has happend to you, but talking about it and finding the right medication makes it alot easier to cope and get on with your life. My view is that I will not let the people that hurt me ruin the rest of my life and you should try and do the same. Feel free to PM if you would like to talk.
