Hi my name is Tiffany. I started suffering from severe panic attacks when i was 15, i was in and out of hospitals, hundreds of different med combinations and therapies, up until I was around 21 when i final gave up with the NHS and had some hypnotherapy, after just two sessions my panic attacks disappeared. I went from having at least two a day to no.
So over the next 5 years i lived a completely normal life again, i would suffer from anxiety occasionally and have minor panic attacks when i was hungover, but nothing in comparison to what i had previously gone through.
So all was well in my life, I then met the man of my dreams, who proposed to me and we are buying a house and business. Iv recently graduated and prior to that i had a few really awful panic attacks. I put it down to the stress of getting all my uni work done. But last night I was lying in bed with my fiancee and my hands started sweating, i got chest pain and felt like i couldnt breath. we went to A and E together, in the car on the way the panic did not subside it just got much worse. It got a little better when we made it to the hospital, but then after a couple of minutes it hit me again.
Throughout the whole time we were in the hospital I kept getting huge waves of panic and constantly felt the anxiety on my chest. Even after the doctor said there was nothing wrong with me I couldn't shake it and i have woken up this morning just the same. Im terrified, I have such a wonderful life now and I have no idea why this would have started again. Its so embarrassing and i feel like Im losing control of everything. I have never had panic like that, i could always get rid of them after having a good freak out or reassurance from a doctor. But last night being in a hospital did nothing to alleviate my symptoms, i left just as panicked as i was when i got there. I only managed to sleep because i had exhausted my body so much from panicking that i passed out when i got home. Im so worried, i cant deal with them if thats what they are going to progress into. Im scared and I feel so alone. My fiancee is so amazing and perfect, he knows exactly how to help when im panicking, but It so embarrassing for me and i worry about how it could ruin our relationship and demising my mental health.
