me, hello one and all.
my name is Anthony and I've suffered from panic attacks on and off since I was 17. I'm now 23 and I actually had a mini attack this afternoon at work. I wiki'd panic attacks and it led me here. I've always talked to people (and my new girlfriend of 2 days) about it but I thought that maybe an idea would be to talk to folks like you who have the same issue as me.

my fear thoughts that trigger attacks are mainly health related. I'll have a twinge or see a blotch on my skin and it freaks me out and off I go. I have verying sized attacks from little ones where I struggle to breath to the huge ones where I properly hyperventilate and get pins and needles in my arms, chest and face.

I've gone for long periods without them but they recently started again sadly. I don't enjoy my job much and am off in 2008 when I get a chance and my last relationship saw me walked on badly till I got the courage and walked. over the years I've learnt to recognise the signs. also being a Christian I've been blessed with people praying for me and looking out for me.

today was a bad day for some reason, mainly because I was over tired I think and it meant my head was a bit cluttered.

I'm happy to be here folks, lets enjoy the ride and by the grace of the good Lord one day I'll be well rock on folks Anthony

thanks one and all, it's good to be here. I went to the doctors yesterday having wrangled an earlier appointment and I've been put on 20mg of paroxetine initially to see how it goes.
took the first tablet this morning and I was shattered by about 9am this morning but I'm at work giving it a go. I have a problem but it will not beat me if I put up a fight. onwards and upwards eh folks

Hi Anthony,

I suffered from the same hypochondria. The advice here will really give you a great foundation for dealing with your panic. I know you'll find the comfort you're looking for. Welcome!

Warm Regards,
Rachel
