Hi Everyone
Can someone please help....I have suffered from anxiety/panic attacks for 11 years. When I first started suffering I used to get palpitations and that was all but it took my doctors a year to diagnose me with and explain about anixety and panic by that time it was too late my brain had already learnt a new way of thinking and my life as I new it was over back then i was single...Over the years I learned different ways of coping with panic...but 3 years ago severe agrophobia set in, i couldn't go out but i also needed hubby to stay in with me because i couldn't be alone...After about a year I started slowly going out again and taught myself to think as long as I had my kids and hubby with me when i am out i'd be alright but now it has caused a very big problem i have severe depersonalisation/derealisation and cannot be alone anywhere even in the house or major panic sets in. I keep having wierd feelings that i am going to suddenly drop dead and i can't stop myself from thinking this way..it is worst at night when everyone is sleeping and i cannot go on like this...I don't go out, I don't have any time to myself and don't have a life...How do i stop these terrible thoughts
thanks for any help or advice anyone can give
