Hi htere
My name is Lisa, im a 36 year old single mum of 3, and ive suffered with anxiety, panic and depression for about 10 years now. At the moment i am controlling the panic attacks myself and they aren't as bad as they used to be. But im living with this constant fear that im going to die very soon and that there must be something wrong with me. Visits to the doctor over the years have not been very productive as she mainly tells me to "pull myself together" but in a rather patronising way. So i dont go anymore and i cant change doctors as i doubt anyone else will take me on with these problems i have. I also have derealisation and have had this for a couple of months. I am at a point in my life now where i am totally fed up and dont really know what else i can do. I feel that some days i cannot be bothered as i am sick of the "detached" feeling from reality i have so i tend not to go out anywhere and have become rather isolated. I have a very short temper at the moment and everyone and everything gets on my nerves.
I found the forums by accident and i hope i can start to get some advice and talk to others who may be feeling like i do and maybe try to get back on track with my life.
Thanks for listening
