Hello folks

[Nervy_of_catford]

Hi there

I have stumbled across this forum from the Wikipedia (my favourite calming thing!) entry on panic disorder.

I am awake at this unholy hour because I have been woken by a panic attack. Something I am sure there are others on this forum also experience. The night time panic attack.

I will become aware of myself, and somewhere in my mind (though I am still mostly asleep, so it's all annoyingly sub-conscious) think "I'm going to be sick" and wham, there's the panic attack.

Hey ho. At least I know that's what it is. Doesn't make it any less disturbing of my sleep though! And I need sleep very much - I'm not one of these night people that can be happy on 6 hours kip!

So hi. I have been having panic attacks since I was about 15. I am now 25. I have been mostly unemployed for the last five years because of them, and undiagnosed Dyspraxia, and sorting out transitioning from female-to-male.

I really want them sorted now. They are very tiring.

So yes, hello all. I look forward to getting to know you.

Robin
