Hello to you all and I hope that my visit to this new for me site will help me get through the panic/anxiety attacks that have been happening to me for a long time. My daughter found this site and told me that it would be good for me to talk to other sufferers and maybe help me.
Having read the problems/issues page I have social panic/anxiety attacks. This happens when I have to go out in the evening say to the pub or to a restaurant. If I know that I am going early enough then I can usually prepare myself and enjoy it but if I don't its straight to the loo for me and I get into a right state.
E.G. Last year I visited friends in France with my two daughters and one afternoon after we had a couple of apperitifs and lunch the couple told us that we were going out to dinner that evening. I was ok getting ready, but on the way there this hotness welled up in my stomach and I had to fight to control it by focussing on something in the car. When we arrived at the village I got straight out of the car and was vomitting behind some parked cars. This was in view of our friends and my daughters....they had never actually seen me in this position before.
Since then both my daughters sympathize with my need to get it sorted. By the way this started when I was in my teens but got better later on when I got married, but then I lost my husband suddenly two years ago and now it won't go away.
