To start with I have suffered from panic attacks since I was 21 years of age, now 45 so a mighty long time.
Mine were triggered by a night out at a rave and taking huge amounts of speed when parionia hit and I thought I was dying.. obviously the symptoms of the panic attack enforced my fears :( I know I was stupid and still to this day wonder how different my life could have been without living so restricted by anxiety, panic and aggrophobia. . I managed to cope for many years giving birth to two beautiful children and living within my comfort zone but after the birth of my 3 child the panic hit again with a vengeance and I was prescribed citalopram which actually worked wonders... 4 months ago and after 10 years on the medication the doctor and I agreed it was time to ween me off , happily I done as was advised and slowly came off my medication. .. been 5 weeks clear abd all was fine until 2 weeks ago out of the blue a major panic attack hit me when out with my daughter.. the worst I have ever suffered and I had her to think about as it scared her... I was literally 5 mins walk from home and my daughter had to call me a taxi as I couldn't move :( since then my anxiety is through the roof so I have decided today to go back on the medication to live a semi normal life for myself and my children... Ohhh I'm a single mum so I have to especially for my children. . Long story I know :doh: I have tried for years to hide I have this problem as it makes me feel weak but came across this today and so glad I did... so hello everyone I'm sookie...xx
