Hi everyone,
I am 39 years old, married, with 2 great kids, ages 9 and 5. I teach adults, health and social care skills and am a registered general and psychiatric nurse. The worse kind of patient!!!!!!!!!
I was surfing this morning trying to determine the cause of my missed heartbeats, trying to find evidence I was not going to die, when I came upon this site. I have not been able to stop crying since! Having suffered with anxiety and clinical depression on and off since the age of 18, my anxieties usually relate to any lumps, bumps or signs of the dreaded cancer, but over the past couple of days I have had periods where my heart misses a beat and then feels like it is leaping from my chest and this went on for what seemed like ages. There is no need to describe any more of my symptoms because I have read them on your site and have been experienced by many of you. I wish I had found your site years ago, before being prescribed prozac and trying to deal with my anxiety on my own. I am no longer medicating and have been anti depressant free for almost 12 months but I have enough insight to know that my missed beats were almost certainly evident because I am feeling more stressed at the moment but it still didn't stop me logging to look for my symptoms online!!!
I will be recommending my sister to view your site, as she too, suffers from anxiety, a little more successfully than me!
