Hi everybody,
I'm new to this. The forum and the fear. I have been experiencing harsh panic attacks for just under two months. I'm 32 and fit, healthy and happy. They are starting to affect my happiness however.
I have had no history of mental illness, used to play sports professionally, am successful in my commercial career, and have always dealt with pressure well, so am confused why they have started and why I am so scared of them continuing.
I hate the thought of being medicated (I work in the Parma industry) so am anxious to go to my GP. I have booked an appointment with a MCBT counsellor for next week, which I find a bit embarrassing tbh and am very focused on beating them. Can anybody who share my background or has context such as mine share how they dealt with things. My nearest and dearest would be supportive but mental health carries some prejudices in my world and I don't really rely on their help.
Thanks
GH
