Hi All

[Marc]

Hi there, I'm Marcus or Marc.

Not had any real panic, but always/often very anxious and sometimes get depressed also.
Don't know if I'll fit in here but you seem like friendly people :)

As you might have noticed I like humour, comedy and jokes.
I find that when I'm feeling down and I go looking on the web for some jokes, it often makes a big difference, and can sometimes save the day completely.

Anyway, pleased to meet you all and hope we will get along.

Marc

Hi, Marc, it's good on this site, been on it since June and had lots of advice and support, suffered with panic for appx. 15 years now and believe me , you need a sense of humour, i still manage to see the funny side of things - i always said that once i lost my sense of humour that would be a sad old day

Hi Marc

Thanks everybody.
Meg, I get anxious about many things. Driving can often get me in a state. Some work things. All sorts of little pressures can build up until I just can't seem to take it any more. I get sudden stress headaches and other pains. Does seem to have been getting worse recently. Sometimes I get to a stage of thinking that I am really cracking up, maybe my head will burst and that will be the end of it all.......

Hi Marc

It is scary feeling like that, that your head will burst and the thoughts you are thinking arent the best are they. But mate that is common and until we see others feel like that we cant understand what we are going through.

I myself thought i was evil and going mad until i found this site and after suffering it alone for 5 years to find out i am not alone was a god send to me. I hope you feel like that and realise you are not going mad at all hon.

Thanks Sal,
I don't know 'bout that, had another bad spell today....... but it is good to hear
that you are not the only one with bad feelings. Just have to keep trying and logging on to this site I guess.
Have to read all the posts and tips and see if I can find some things to help.

Thanks again,
Marc

Marcus ,

Have you tried a relaxation CD or meditation and doing them daily for several weeks ?
Doing it once a week or just when at crisis point is not lastingly beneficial .

What exercise do you do regularly ?

It is impossible to get out of a problem by using the same kind of thinking that it took to get into it.

Hi Marc

What Meg says is right.

But like you also say you have found this site and you know you will get lots of support and there are so many posts and personal stories to read.

I am sure you will feel at home before you know it mate.
