hi

[tess2]

I am a new member today, I have suffered from panic attacks on and off for over twenty years (since my early teens). For me they take the form of extreme nausea/upset stomach as well as "hitting the adrenalin panic button" and shaking etc. This has had a big impact on my life because I am afraid of eating out, going on public transport, going on holiday, going on aeroplanes - I have three children and it is increasingly hard to cope with the demands of their lives and be a "normal" mum. I was a high achiever at school and qualified as a solicitor, though I haven't worked as such for 10 years. I am presently doing a garden design course which keeps me going! I've been seeing a psychotherapist for about 18 months but am finding progress hard. I'm not taking any medication. I've felt I've had to keep all this hidden for so long, this site has made me cry.
