I have had anxiety problems for years. No More Panic got me through some bad patches - from school to university, and right through university from 2009 until 2014.
Things got better for me and I went to see a psychologist for two years. He was fantastic. I got a full time job, had a flat , friends and was coping quite well with life. I had a LOT of support from my GP and my mum was never far away from me.
I made a big decision recently to go back to university to qualify as a speech therapist. This has meant a move 150 miles from home, to Glasgow from rural northern Scotland. It's been quite a shock to the system.
This shock has manifested in anxiety, spurred on by a relative (second degree, my mum's twin) being diagnosed with ARVC cardiomyopathy and having an ICD fitted. As you can imagine.. I'm absolutely petrified much of the time. Palpitations 24/7 just about. Breathlessness, chest pain, dizziness. the works. Now waiting on seeing a cardiologist as GP thought best check it out. That and I said I wanted an echo.
I feel very uprooted, lost my support network, very far from Mum, worried all the time. I've been given a number for a crisis line and a new GP surgery - new surgery is awful.
I'm vomiting a lot with anxiety, have constant abdominal pain which they think might be endometriosis but also compounded by the anxiety..
Would be good to chat to anyone in the same boat, I am sure no one remembers me but I remember a few .. Debs (who was a nurse if I remember right) and Paula (who always sent me cwtches!!) I really remember, as both sent me lovely lovely PMs , if you're still about be fab to hear how you are ! Was a long time ago now!!
