I have had panic attacks/constant anxiety now for over 6 years now and dont know how much more of it I can take.

Feeling so fed up today.

It can get better. The length of time you ahve had them makes no difference to your ability to recover. It just means you have more time to build up memories and associations.
With the right guidance and input from you, recovery can be made.

Having bad days and blips seems to be par for the course.

Do you have panics about a specific thing or general panics?

Thanks everyone for your kind words.

I still feel awful. I had to go out with the kids shopping this morning and was soooooooo tempted to turn back and come home - but didnt. I feel that the extra stress I put on myself cannot be doing me any good - but what can you do.

I am anxious from the minute I get up till the minute I go to bed. I worry constantly about how I am feeling and about every symptom I get.

Thanks for listening.

Hey Ann..

Firstly a MASSIVE well done for mananging the shopping (+ children). I can't even do that....even with a safe person. You shouldn't be so hard on yourself.

I would offer you some advice as to how to deal with this, but unfortunately i've been severely agoraphobic for 9 years and if i knew the answer i would be well myself :(

Thanks everyone. I know I should be grateful for the things that I do do, even if the panic/anxiety are still with me - I am just finding it really tiring and see no light at the end of the tunnel.

As soon as I wake in the morning the first thing I think about is panic and then the day just revolves around it. I am sorry for whining on about it.
