Hi Everyone -
Lovely to meet you all.
My name is Jayne and I am currently on sick leave from work with depression and panic attacks.
My panic attacks very unfortunately began while I was travelling on the London Underground and happened a further three times. They have now transferred over to trains as I had my last attack on a train as I was travelling home from work on the last evening before taking two weeks' annual leave. I have, I am very ashamed to say, not been able to return to work since. I am extremely frightened that I may never be able to get on a train again. My journey to work takes just over half an hour.
I am afraid I am having quite a struggle at present. I am hopefully having an eye operation tomorrow but am feeling very anxious about this. My GP has very kindly prescribed Fluoxetine 20mg once a day and Propranolol 10mg up to four times a day. I am experiencing quite a loud heartbeat since beginning Propranolol and am feeling quite a lot worse than when I first visited my GP last week. Sleep and eating is quite a challenge.
The Community Mental Health Team have just telephoned and given me some telephone numbers to contact. I am very deeply sorry I am not feeling too bright at present but sending you all lots of love.
