Hi everyone,
I've posted on here a few times but thought I would introduce myself properly.
I've been having panic attacks on and off since I was about 19 (I'm now 31), mainly health related. I have a good life with a good job and a good man, to whom I am getting married next year plus we're moving abroad so exciting but busy times ahead! So I feel embarrassed that I do have anxieties as I don't feel that I'm in a position where I should be anxious.
I found this forum when I was googling my symptoms and I'm really glad I did as it's a great support network, even if you don't post much and just lurk. There are so many people here that have shared their past experiences which happen to be experiences I am going through now and I'm glad that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
In real life I'm quite outgoing and appear to be happy-go-lucky but I doubt myself all the time and all too easily I can get distracted by the negative. Still, I am working on changing this and this forum is a great help.
I hope that one day I can post on here having gotten through my disorders, which will be able to help others that will go through what I am right now.
