Hi i'm Denny

[Denny]

First i'd like to say what a wonderful site of information,i wish i'd of had a site like this 3 years ago to look at,it would of helped me no end.

I'd like to thank Claire for givin the link to this site,she's a damn good mate of mine.

Nobody besides yourselfs can understand what we go through day in day out,depression is like a mind cancer,eating away at your very soul.
My troubles started 3 years ago to this day i don't know what started it all,i went to work one night shift and had the most horendous panic attack (PA),i thought i was having a heart attack and was going to die,the feeling inside was sheer terror,a feeling so hard to describe,from that day i had up to 10-15 PA per day,the doctor who come to visit me said i had Agoraphobia,very common and can hit at anytime.
The constant sickness which followed though my nerves drove me to the brink,i did contemplate suicide,i still do at times when the depressions bite deep,i know my triggers and i know now how to control them,as i said the occassional depressions come back,it's hard work innit workin through them!

Hi Denny

Welcome to the site and like you say we all do understand here and there is so much information and support that you can gain from.

It is hard as depression and anxiety seem to come and take control, but you sound like you have got some of that control back and know how to deal with it.


I am similar to you and couldnt believe the terror i felt through my first panic attack, it still totally amazes me how a mental process can make you feel so ill.

Hope to hear some more from you.



Love Sal xxxxx

Thx for all your welcomes,sorry about getting back late to you all.
I'm doing ok Sal,i have the odd depression day,thankfully those are far and few between now,the one thing i do find is when i have a spat with a close friend the depressions and my mood are increased in ten fold,worse than when i was ill.
On the whole though i'm getting there,one day at a time :o)

Hi Denny,

Welcome on board .

I totally agree with you ...the feeling inside was sheer terror,a feeling so hard to describe,from that day i had up to 10-15 PA per day,the doctor who come to visit me said i had Agoraphobia,very common and can hit at anytime.

About 60 % of panic disorder suffereres develop Agoraphobia - it can hitat any time but is related to events in your life at the time or what you're thinking about .

Well done for getting over it so well yourself.
