Hello Everyone...I am new here and just learning how to navigate the site..hope I am doing this right! I am currently waiting for counselling and CBT for anxiety issues- but wait is going to be several months due to waiting lists, meanwhile I am here to learn from others how they cope with the many issues surrounding anxiety and panic... It's like the chicken and egg problem - I try to go out and face the fears of panic (especially in public places) and as soon as symptoms surface my health anxiety takes over big time and I end up back in my car and heading home ... Never managing to overcome the avoidance bit! It's so hard. My whole family have died from cancer and heart problems and the symptoms of panic immediately lead to thoughts of heart problems, etc... And on it goes. Anyway, just wanted to say hello and will be glad to read what other folk are doing to confront their fears.
