Hi, I have been struggling with anxiety and panic for years. It flares up periodically and can last for ages.
I am currently going through a really bad patch and have just been signed off by my GP. However this in itself is stressing me out as i dont get paid sick leave so have financial worries and also when i am bad i hate being home alone and will often resort to pacing the streets just to get away from my terror (doesnt work though!!)
I just can't cope with that horrible feeling of fear that something awful is about to happen, and that choking band round my chest and throat.
