Hi again David, I've had anxiety for many years but I didn't know what it was I thought I was just a really werid person, til i had my first major panic attack just over a year ago and i had to go to hospital, i'd had a few p/a a few days before this (didn't know what it was) , there it was diagnosed and now i had a name for what why i thought i was werid!!! God my world fell apart and so did I, I felt like I was the only person on this planet who had this, enough moaning now (slap my hand!!)

I'm now a year down the road, I take medication which has helped me a lot, i've never had councilling, but god do i need it lol I find that having a sense of humour is the best medicine as a smile brings joy, hope we speak again soon Tara xxx

Hiya Dave

A big and warm welcome to the forum mate :D

Have to say your post really made me smile - have you tried reading R.D. Laing or T. Szasz? They make great reading regarding an alternative perspective on mental health issues (i.e. its the rest of society that has the problem).

Love to hear about your cat and 2 dogs - I have two Weimaraners called Holly and Jazz who are both totally nuts.

Glad to hear things are picking up for you and you've certainly come to the right place for lots of help and support.

Best wishes, Jo x
