Hi there. I'm very new to all this but can't tell you how relieved I am to have found this site. I felt like I was the only one going through this and everyone else thought I was bonkers.
Anyway, it all started in August last year when I was with the kids during the summer holidays and for some bizarre reason the attacks started off happening in the car and then became more and more frequent until I virtually became housebound and petrified. I felt really bad for the kids (felt really bad anyway!) because I felt completely useless. Anyway, after a really embarrassing episode with an ambulance I went to my GP who has put me on anti-ds. I was gutted at first as I was put on them two years ago for postnatal depression and I felt I had failed. Anyway, after four weeks of taking them I began to feel 'normal' and never looked back. I have started yoga, upped my exercise and am going through counselling.
However, my GP wants to take me off medication in March and I have to say I am absolutely petrified. Will they start again? How do I cope if they do?
Well, anyway, I just wanted to say how great it was reading your messages and knowing that I am not alone.
Thanks.:)
