New to chat rooms!

[rufus]

Hi everyone, just thought I'd say hello as I'm new to this.

briefly, I'm suffering from anxiety and panic which is quite bad at the moment - becoming agoraphobic and avoiding most things. I've had it bad for about 2 months now and the last time was about 3 yrs ago.

I've tried various alternative therapies but not CBT or medication. Today I finally acknowledged I should visit my GP to at least discuss it. I've always been a bit cynical about GPs and the help I've received in the past and have tended to think I've got to sort the problem out myslef.

Hopefully, more is known about the condidtion now and I'll get better advice.

Looking forward to exchanging some friendly chat with everyone and offering helpful suggestions to others - if I finally have some positive help!

Thanks everyone for such a warm welcome and words of encouragement. Since looking at the site yesterday I've already tried some off the positive thinking techniques and have had a better day today - actually managed to have a cup of coffee with a friend at her house and stayed for 40 minutes which I wouldn't have done a few days ago.

speak again soon.
