Hi there, I recently came across this site whilst googling various symptom to do with anxiety and panic attacks and decided that i would be good to have a safe place to talk about this stuff so here I am. I've suffered with mild anxiety and depression pretty much my whole life but until recently have deliberately avoided seeking medical help. However when my dad died last summer things came to a head and I end up in the doctors when i had a severe panic attack, although i didn't know that's what it was of course, i thought I was going to die! They prescribed my diazepam for when it gets bad although i try and avoid taking them if i can as they make me feel so detached. I had good spell where i thought i had a handle on things at last but lately it's flared up very badly and i'm not coping well at all. I find that reading other people's stories on here helps lot, just to know there are others going throught the same thing that understand. Who knows i may actually join in a conversation on here one day if i can get past the social anxiety of overanalysing every potential word and conversation to the point where i never say it!
