Can I urge everyone who hasn't read it to read: "Self-help for your nerves" by Claire Weekes?
This book was literally life-changing the first time I read it four years ago, and played a big part in my recovery.
Now, after slowly drifting into a relapse (without even really realising it) - I decided to read it again. After just reading the first couple of chapters, I feel transformed! I'm almost afraid to post this, in case it is a "false dawn" - but I feel totally different to how I have felt for the past year or more (in a very good way!)! - Hope it lasts!
There is something magic in this book! - I think it is the way she understands the thought processes involved, and describes thoughts and fears I thought only I had! (I thought everyone else with panic was different LOL!)
She gets right to the root of the problem, and just reading about it seems to get into your sub-concious somehow!
Might not work for everyone, but definately worth a try!
