Hi,
I started suffering panic attacks about 6years ago.After having been medically retired with an autoimmune disease everything just seemed to get out of hand and after an afternoon nap I woke up in a state of utterconfusion-thinking it was part of my medical condition I raced to the out of hours GP only to be told it was a panic attack.Since then I have bought books and tried to read as much as I can to understand the condition.Panic attacks as such now seem to be rare I just live in a state of worry the whole time.As my health is so poor and always throwing something at me to deal with I always expect the worst & usually it comes.My consultant has just announced that he wants to test me for lymphoma:weep: The fear and panic is almost unbearable
Night times are bad I rarely sleep through the nightwaking at between 3-5am.I have a 14year old daughter and always try to act normal around her in the hope she wont learn to become a worrier from me .I hope I can make some new friends here so I dont feel like such an utter freak-I look around and other people seem so in control of their lives
much love to you all
