View Full Version : Hello
Hi,
I am new to this and thought I should write in to you. I am a sufferer of acute anxiety I have suffered for years and i am 30 now. Its come to a head in the last 3 weeks and i have been to the doctor and been prescribed Citalopram and zopiclone. I feel very low and do not like being by myself, my boyfriend is supportive and he has to be with me most of the time. I do have good days and can go out and meet people but i do have days when I do have really bad panic attacks.
i wanted to write in to see if anyone else is as bad as me
Nic :)
hello there,
Welcome to the site!! I am very dependent on my boyfriend as well. A while ago, he had to be with me at all times as I was too scared to be alone. I am much better now and try to be a little more independent. I'm sure that your medication will help you achieve this over time. Take care.

It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.

Welcome Nic,
If you have suffered for years do you know what you think about that sets you off and have you tried to address those issues ?

Hey Nicola
That is great news and thanks for updating us.
How is counselling going - is it making sense and helping?
Don't worry about the smoking - that will come in time. Concentrate on getting better first.
Great news to hear.

Hello
I hope everyone had a good christmas and new year. I didn't, I had a huge panic attack on Christmas day due to my brother in law being a big pain in the ass and my family had to go shortly after. Maybe I took too much on as I did christmas this year, but hey ho. I wont do it next year some one else in the family can suffer him.
I had a quiet new year which was good and not had a panic attack since. I'm still having counselling every week which I find very good and I'm still on my medication. I'm still seeing my GP and she thinks I could start to come off in the spring but we will see how it goes I'm taking a day at a time.
I will write soon take care every one
Love
Nicola

Hi Nicola
Thanks for the update.
Sorry about the panic on Xmas day but hope you are over it all now.
How is the counselling going?
Nicola
Thanks Nicola
Counselling is good, its helping me a lot being able to talk to someone outside the family circle who listens and kind of understands and doesnt look at me as though I am mad. I will continue to go once a week and quite look forward to it, my counseller is helping me trying to get to the root of the panic attacks.
I will write again soon.
Thanks for your support.
Love
Nicola
