hello

[nicola88]

Hello,
My name is Nicola and I am 18 years old and hoping to start university in September. I have been suffering form Panixc Attacks and Anxiety since April this year and as a result have become slightly agrophobic. I have been to psycotherapists who have put me on a drug called Mirtazapine which has definetly helped my panic attacks and I was on the mend, until earlier this week, when me and my boyfriend of 4 years decided to end our relationship due to the fact we are both going to different universities. Since this has happened the feeling of constant nausea has returned which leads to panic attacks. This evening I have had my worst panic attcks since going on Mirtazapine, so I thought i would try to speak to other sufferers in the hope of feeling better about things which hopefully,fingers crossed, will mean I can go to university in September and live away from home like any other normal student. If anyone has any advice or support I would love to hear it!

Nicola xx

Hi Nicola

a big welcome. So sorry to hear about the breakup with your boyfriend, thats really tough enough without experiencing terrible panic attacks on top of it as well.

Wish I had been as brave as you to seek help back in my teens.

I think you are going to find lots of support and help on this site.

Take care
Hugs

Hi Nicola,

I'm a 21 year old uni student, been suffering from anxiety since February and I wanted to say how sorry I am to hear you've been going through such a hard time recently. Please be reassured that anxiety/panic attacks are common among students, and there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to start uni in September. Most unis are brilliantly equipped to help students with such problems and have plenty of experience. Just wanted to advise you to register with the uni counselling services when you start, as it can really help having someone understanding to chat to and please let your personal tutor/supervisor know about your panics, as I promise they will do everything they can to support you. Hope this helps, wishing you best of luck, Sarah x
