Hi, just thought I'd leave a quick message on here to introduce myself. I've had problems with GAD and panic attacks on and off for several years, but my GAD had resurfaced again about 12 months ago now. I didn't go to my GP initially, because in the past it had gone away of its own accord after a few weeks, but this time it didn't. Eventually I went to see my GP and was referred to a Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner for CBT-based treatment. I found the treatment to be a huge help, and it seemed like things were getting back to normal again. However, this week I had one of the worst panic attacks I've ever had. It's really shaken me up, and to be honest I feel like I'm right back at square one again. I'm due to see my therapist this week for the first time in almost a month, so hopefully he'll be able to help as much as he was the first time round. It'd be great to hear from others on here about their own experiences, as for me the biggest help comes from realising that I'm not alone and that others know what I'm talking about.
