Hi all. My name is Emma (AKA Sassy) and Ive been part of this site quite a while but haven't visited in ages.
I came across this site through a search engine when i was at my most low point.
This site saved me.
I have had panic attacks since 1993.
Whilst standing in a Que for McDonald's, i fainted at 4 months pregnant with my first born. Since that fateful day i have had anxiety, panic attacks, depression and OCD. It got to the point when i was too scared to be alone with my 4 children and i waited patiently for the 'men in white coats' to come and take me away.
Needless to say, they didn't and contrary to all my beliefs, i survived, the children survived and here i am (still lol).
I fear thunder and fireworks immensely!!
I have done countless research into mental illnesses and have learnt a lot about why i am like this and ways of getting through each battle.
I have had a lot of counselling over the years and been on and off antidepressants, diazepam etc.
Im here to find and make new friends who understand how i feel and to perhaps offer my advice and accept advice and learn through others experiences.
I hope i haven't sent you all to sleep..really just wanted to say hi LOL.
