Hi mum, welcome to the site. I have suffered anxiety, Panic and lots of phobias for years now, but they do come and go when stress levels get less. I remember when my Dad dies sudden of a heart attack. I was with him at his local pub one Sunday night as I always did, and then left to go home; he was fine just another night out. Then a few hours later (early hours Sunday night Monday morning, the police knocked on the door, gave me the news and asked me to go identify his body. Funny enough this didn’t bother me to much and I seemed to take it quite well, I don’t think I even cried. Then one night in bed about a month after I had one massive panic attack, me and my wife thought I was dying of heart attack. She kept phoning Doctors who seemed to be taking to long and then 999 then doctor phoned and said it was a panic attack and gave me 20mg of vallium which calmed me down and went back to sleep. Then the next day I was a nervous wreck trying to get up, and when I did get up I was to scared to do anything, I had to go to Doctors which was only about a few 100 yards away and it was hell trying to get out. I phoned the surgery and told Doctor I wouldn’t be able to wait to see him as all I wanted to do is run away from everything. I suffered so bad then from agoraphobia couldn’t even go into the garden, couldn’t do any work as I was shaking and panicking 24/7. But it did go away eventually, it went without me even realizing and I was out and about again. The same seemed to happen in most stressful events even though at the time I didn’t realize what caused it. Each time my wife went into hospital to have a baby it came and so on. Then I was to terrified to go to hospital and see her then the guilt came what a bad man I was not going to see my wife in hospital, you just cant win. Lucky enough I had a good sister who used to come and take me to the hospital in her car, it was still hell but I got there, I don’t think my sister or many other people knew what I was going through, you seem to suffer this alone. What I do know now is that its best not worry about it, if you don’t want to go out, don’t get all worked up and get annoyed that you can’t go just except it and sit back relax and think well, I will go another day. I have tried in the past pushing myself to do things and it don’t work, All you do when you push yourself is increase the anxiety and make yourself worst. It’s not easy but use affirmations and keep telling yourself you are ok and in good health over and over, also try and just relax and don’t push to hard, be kind to yourself. Hope you feel better soon, and Take care and don’t be hard on yourself. Vernon
