Is anyone online now

[spock1]

hi I only joined here a matter of about half hour so excuse me for being so cheeky as to ask for help already, I am female and in my 40s and suffer with panic attacks, I have emphysema and about 20+years ago I had the lining removed from my right lung and the lung stuck to the wall cavity as I had experienced a number of spontanious double pnumo thorax's (sorry if speliing is wrong) you'd have thought this stressful time would be when my troubles began really but strangely enough they didnt I seemed to cope quite well although having had a very traumatic childhood I learnt to cope from a very early age, then a few years ago I went to london to film and watch the funeral of the Queen Mother, after it had finished I asked a w.p.c where the nearest place was open to get some food, she looked at me and said how I didnt look at all well I explained I always looked pale with dark eyes but she didnt listen and called 2 st john ambulance people over who convinced my friend to bring me to their coach so I went over then they asked if I was in any pain to which I explained I had been carrying a large camera bag most of the night and morning and therefor had an aching back and arm/shoulder the next thing I knew he asked me to lift my tongue and he sprayed something 4 times in my mouth I then remember feeling awful and being taken to hospital where I discovered I had been given 4 doses of gtn despite my saying I had no chest pain and had no history of heart problems anyway I wont go into further detail as I then get flashbacks but ever since then I have had panic attacks ranging from mega where I have had one after another for hours on end to medium like at the moment which I think is because I have got a stinking head flu which means I cant breathe through my nose and due to my tempreture and lack of nasal breathing am feeling breathless and panicky and occasionally I get milder one off attacks where I get a bit dizzy etc usually when Im wound up eg. when Ive been trying to get somewhere and Im late etc
so if theres someone around to just chat to for a little while till I calm down a bit I'd be grateful.

I do have a firewall but its not stopping me from posting so I guess I'll have to post via the scenic route for now still its taking my mind of my panic attack so I guess thats something lol
