Hoping this is the start of my recovery

[freebird]

Hi, I have been suffering panic and anxiety for over two years. I have been getting better on and off but find myself going downhill a lot recently. I think I suffer more from anxiety rather than panic as I haven't had a full blown panic attack in a while and its more the fear of them holding me back. At the moment I am fighting constant headaches thought to be sinus and this is holding me back even more. I am desperate at this stage as I feel really awful and MY WEDDING is in 3 weeks time. I am not overly anxious about the wedding I don't think and I am more afraid it is all going to hit me at once.

So can I be helped? I have promised myself while I am waiting on a CBT appointment I will do something online to help myself each day and this is not a life just a mere exsistence.

Of course you can be helped!! As annoying as it sounds...It all starts with YOU!! Just keep positive!! I am also a general anxiety sufferer. It started with a panic attack and then I was so scared of another happening that I was constantly judging myself and how was feeling..Made myself a whole lot worse than I had to be..So now am getting back out there. I have made it so much more difficult for myself!! You WILL get there and have an amazing wedding day!!!!!

Hi :welcome: I sympathise with you on the sinus issue..I suffer from it a lot. I find steam inhalation helps and alternating hot and cold compresses (10 mins each). I am sure you will find lots of support here. An October wedding will be lovely (I was married in October) :)
