IS THERE A CURE

[hayles]

Can anyone tell me if this will ever go away. IS THERE A CURE?

I have had anxiety on and off for about 5 years. This spout has lasted nearly a whole year which is the longest it has lasted.

Before that i hadnt had it for about 2 years, and life was bliss.

At the moment i feel trapped in a black hole, like this is it, it is now with me forever. I keep trying to focus on the fact that it has passed before, but a whole year of this has really got to me....

Has it beaten me?

Yes, you can beat it.

You have to accept your part in the recovery. It is down to you to do the work but with the right guidance and support at the right times then you can definitely beat it. :D

Sometimes we hang on to stuff and look over our shoulders at stressful times and this is when we are most prone to a setback. Setbacks may or may not come, but if we fear their coming then the chances are they will. It's all fear dressed up in a different form.

Cheers,
Trev :D

Thanks Trev.

Think it has been building up over the last few days.
i am having a weird pins and needles effect in the back of my head for days now.....this is really getting to me and I have just had a massive panic at work. had to go outside.

Luckily i hide it well and a very close friend takes me out for a quick walk around the block!

I am not on meds anymore and i feel like this is all coming back. Just feel like crying and curling up in the corner.

Dont think i can do this all again

Hi there. I can promise you that there is life after all this. I have been there. One day I just thought 'NO MORE' and I started to actively work on being positive, no matter how I felt. A month or so down the line from that I can say that I feel so much better, less scared and I am starting to live a normal life. I still have a bad throat but truthfully I dont care, the feeling of terror and blackness have lifted and I am living a normal life. I now listen to my doctor and its so much better. I wish all of this for you too.

[hayles]

Thanks, I am really feeling it today x

I can totally relate to your fear of the sensations. If it's the physical symptoms would having a check up give you comfort? I'm sure you are fine and sometimes we need that external reassurance to build the confidence back up.

Distraction is a great help at this time especially in the company ot others if you can achieve this.

Hope you feel better and remember that you can be cured. To be having a blip you must have already covered some excellent ground. You have done it before and can do it agan. The fear of it coming back is still a fear and hence may give you symptoms.

Cheers,
Trev :D

Thanks trev.
My doc is on hols so may book up with her again when she comes back......
But i have spent the last year to and froing from her and it gives light relief for a while, then it all comes flooding back.

Two years ago i had panic attacks and they were awful then i was on medication for a year. Moved 300 mines from my family ans was fine till last month and have been getting synptoms again but this time im gonna beat it. When they start and im at home irun a bath and have a good long soak and it tends to relieve it. Sometimes i get them on the way to work but after half an hour of rushing about ive forgotten about it and feel fine. Ive also started taking Kalms they take the edge of it too. Hope youre feeling better. Also when im at home and have them and my hubby is away i phone a friend for 20 mins and she just talks about anything. She suffers worse than me and that helps too. Take care

Things will get better. After having a few anxiety free weeks, I am feeling anxious today and can feel missed heartbeats again. I guess we just have to accept that it will always be a bit of an up and down ride for us. It will pass again. Take care.
