Please, please help me. I am so scared of the panic and am afraid that it is going to rob me of my life.
I feel like I am fighting a losing battle. Whenever I get any symptom I panic. I try to breathe deeply - but cannot seem to concentrate on it and feel worse. I try to keep myself busy - but the 'panic' thoughts always seem to win. I am just living in constant fear.
I want to just curl up in my bed and to never get up, but that is difficult when I have 2 young children and a job. I seem to rush around constantly - sorting out the house/kids/work etc. I know I am not the only one - but feel so alone.
My symptoms are the worst thing ever. I get banging headaches, pains in my neck and shoulders, my eyes go blurry and I feel really strange as though I am not really here. My panic is just spiralling out of control. I hold my breath in fear - which I know will probably make the symptoms worse. I am just scared that I am putting my body under too much stress and one day it will just pack in as I have the symptoms most of the day and the breathing is like your main lifeline.
I really dont know what to do. I have read loads of books and when I have an anxious free moment (which doesnt last long) I can think rationally that all this is panic.
I am just so desperate at the moment. Can anyone else relate???
I dont want to stop doing things as then the panic is winning, but am so scared that my living in fear is going to kill me!!!
