Hello!
Now I'm actually typing something, my mind has gone blank on how to actually introduce myself - oh dear, what a fantastic start! :ohmy: :blush:
Anyway, in short; I'm currently suffering from anxiety and panic attacks. I've been particularly suffering from it over the past couple of weeks. It has been awful, I won't lie with several trips to the doctors and also with feeling anxious in environments that I never used to feel anxious in - which believe me, is frustrating! It's been emotional as well as being exhausting both mentally and physically - to the point where I prefer to stay in my house rather than to go out to places that are only about 15 minutes away. It just feels safe and secure, that is the only way I can describe it. I also feel nauseous throughout the day which puts me off eating food and I constantly wake up in the night. My doctor suggested all sorts of things to help - including this site to me today, and I honestly thought "why not?" :shrug: As I'm trying my best to not let the anxiety take over my life. However, the main thing is that I am aware of what's going on and I'm hoping to overcome it - as I'm sure a lot of you are!
I won't go into significant details too much about myself as this is only an introduction but I do find that it's reassuring to meet people who have had or are going through the same or something similar to what I am. So if you are going through anything similar - don't hesitate to say hello! :)
Thanks!
