Hello everyone!! My handle is CaffinatedCathy but everyone calls me Cat.
Caffinated because if it wasn't for caffeine I don't think I'd be able to handle what goes on in my head.
I am in Brisbane, Australia but originally from Melbourne, Australia (have seen there are other Aussies here .. G'day!!!! *tilts hat*), am almost 30 and been suffering anxiety since I can remember, panic attacks for almost 10 years and depression only in the past 12 months.
I am a carer for my husband whom has chronic fatigue syndrome and depression and am currently looking for part time work.
Mum and I share an genetic anxiety disorder.
My weaknesses are thunderstorms (had a break down during one once, was not good), large spiders ... or in fact any spiders, things I cannot control myself, elevators and small spaces and learning new things (I also have short term memory loss and am slow to learn new things).
My distractions are music, television, computer games and books.
My strengths are my strong will, bubbly personality and curiosity for everything.
I also suffer from a sort of uncontrollable thought that puts me into sheer pannic mode but those thoughts are not only about things out of my control, they are things that have a one in a billion billiobs chance of happening .. things I cannot talk about in every day life as they make me pannic bad like asteroids hitting earth, black holes (thats a big one), nuculear war, building collapsng in on top of me, bring struck by lightning etc. I cannot thik of the name but they consume me and my mind and I cannot eat, sleep or function.
sorry, am rambling on there, lol
Stay happy everyone, much love, cat :yesyes:
