Hi everyone, I am seeing my G.P tomorrow for something else, wondering whether to mention my anxiety? Peoples experiences/thoughts much appreciated. Since last year with my initial panic attacks I have done quite well on my own but recently things are quite bad, my symptoms are:
1) Occasional panic attacks sweating, shaking, breathless the usual/ Regular palpatations/chest discomfort.
2) Constant feeling of dread, if something is going good see it as an omen it will fail soon.
3) Phone calls/emails esp from work think will be bad news (had this previously in vile old job which was initial cause of issues last March)
4) Bad/negative thoughts about my lovely partner, bad dreams about him.
5) Weight loss which G.P knows about (7 pounds in 6-8 weeks)
I think I just go along and accept the anxiety but if the panic attacks are starting again I can't stand it.
Now I've noticed the issues wondering if self help could work? Scared of antidepressants I was offered previously, not currently feeling depressed however worried this could happen.
Any advice appreciated,
thanks :)
