Hi all. I am new to this site and would like some hints I am 42.
6 weeks ago i had a terrible virus which knock me out I also split with my parnter a few months before and hadnt been sleeping very well. So I had a huge panic attack in bed about 5 weeks ago. It continued for the next day and i spiralled downhill from then on. I had suffered panic when I was younger in my late teens. I remember how terrible this was and i suffered from this along with severe anxiety for several years but it did go away.
I have been to the doc and the mental heath team and they have diagnosed aggitated depression and Im on efexor.
I hade been feeling more confident last week and was offered some work in glasgow which i accepted. I was almost looking forwad to it but today i am beside myself with fear about going and have cancelled, along with other work that i had been booked for. Does anyone think I was pushing myself too quicky. I live from day to day now as I dont know when another attack will come... I am so scared by the way these feelings have taken over my life. I have not worked since july (being self employed).
I know it doesnt matter that this has happened with this work and I do understand what is going on with the panic but still its very destressing...
Thanks for reading..
