Hi everyone

[LauraC]

Hi, god where do I start. I'm Laura, 23 years old, from Aberdeen.

Suffered from major anxiety 3 years ago, i was in a bad relationship and began having the attacks. I commonly passed out in public, paced my flat thinking I was going to pass out and die and I also lost my appetite, I lost 3 stone. I left him in the end and things got better. Was basically back to normal.

However, I have recently given birth to my little boy who is now 12 weeks, i soon developed bells palsy and the complete left hand side of my face was paralysed. It got better hafter 3 weeks and I began to feel better but unfortunately my little brother (who had cerebral palsy) took an epileptic fit in my care and he didn't come out of it. That was 8 weeks ago now and it is just sinking in. Now all the symptoms above has come back with a vengeance. I really don't know what to do with myself. I have developed this fear of death, just think I am going to conk out and die myself which is horrible.

I really must sound like such a moan but would really appreciate talking to anyone who is or has been suffering this awful illness.

Thanx

Hi Laura
Its very hard when you think the illness has gone away and it comes back with a vengeance, it has happened to me.
I think its true to say it never goes away but sits dormant..and when something profound happens or several things like you self has experienced..it kick in all of a sudden.
I was the same my father died a tragic death last year and I then suffered a misscarraige...The illness came back with a vengeance....So now Im off work..and determind to get proper help..realise its always there..BUT...find away to recognise signs of its return or coping skills to avoid 'falling to pieces'
Hope that help in some way you can PM me anytime
