Hi,

You're not going mad. Take a moment to breathe slowly, calm yourself down and take in the advice from this forum. You are in the right place for sure,

Everything you have mentioned i've experienced with my anxiety. I've also been where you are, where i was convinced for 7 years there was something 'Wrong' despite tests showing otherwise. I had to accept it was anxiety symptoms and decide to take control of my life again before i could start to recover. I sympathize with how you're feeling, it really is a difficult thing to understand, but you can.

Here's a link from the home page, this explains panic attacks and the symptoms you are getting and why. It may help you understand some more

I just don't understand why it hsppend I don't live in stress and have a good life OK no job lack of money but worse off people out there I've never had a panic attack before six weeks ago I was relaxing when it happened .... Watching some tv I can't relax no more tv for me no more living or being alone I loved being alone before now I have too be around family all the time I feel like a child I just want too feel OK and better I don't sleep because I'm scared I Won't wake up and my daughter will find me constant fear of my health and the in known all because of one major panic attack and about five other ones since people look at you and talk too you like crap family getting fed up with me disappearing into stupid hours ending up in a n e !!!!!

You would benefit from understanding what anxiety is and how it works. You don't need to have had a particularly traumatic life to suffer from anxiety or panic attacks. Anyone can get this.

You can change it around, but it's a journey you must go through and want to get better, be willing to learn and make changes. There is a lot of information on this site in the articles on the home page, also many members with lots of experience i am sure they will reply to your thread. Unfortunately there isn't a pill that will make anxiety disappear.

Hope you get the advice you need, have you spoke to your GP about your anxiety/panic?

Thank you for the reply I'm thankful honest just confused and upset and worried for everyone

It's ok i understand how hard it is and there's been enough times i've felt nothing will ever work and feared i would feel like this for ever. You are doing things and being active about it which is great but there will be setbacks and bad periods, i still get them but it's the way i'm reacting to them that's changed.
I hope you feel much better soon.

Is it Cognitive Behavioral Therapy you're having?
