Hello everyone!
My name is Kelly I am 19 years old and I have developed panic disorder over the last few weeks.
I can't really understand how it has come on, why it has come on and how long it's going to be before I get better.
I'll tell you a little about my background and maybe you can help me pick out what's going wrong.
I'm in university, 2nd year, which I try to work really hard at. I work for direct line home insurance which I sit at the phone for 19 hours a week. I have a loving boyfriend of 1 1/2 years. I live away from home and live with 3 other housemates and I have a lot of responsibility for myself.
My Nan died of cancer last year, my auntie died of cancer last month, my dad has addisons disease and is not very well at the moment and I am worried for him, my nan and grandad are getting really old and are moving into a home in the next few months and I havn't seen them in over a year.
As you can see I have a little bit to worry about!
The panic attacks started when I was in work and now they have become completly disabling, I can't work anymore, I can't go into university, I can barely even sit with my friends having a good time without the floor spinning.
I get really bad headpain, a fuzzyness that makes me feel everything isn't real. I get dizzyness and pain all down my left arm as if I've sprained my muscle or something. My vision is all messed up and it comes on most strong when I am in bed and I keep waking up thinking I can't breathe.
Annnwayy hope someone can help me because it's getting me really down.
