My name is Martin :)
I'm 30 years old and live in Derbyshire, England.
I started suffering anxiety attacks last May, to such an extent that I was forced to quit my job. My anxiety manifests itself in chest pain, and I have been rushed to hospital several times. I have never been so frightened.
I have now passed the worst, and am back at work. Two things seemed to have helped- 1) Regular exercise, and 2) AND THIS IS MOST IMPORTANT! - Dr Claire Weekes!! I see that her books have been mentioned elsewhere in this site. I will just add my voice to the general chorus that this wonderful woman has done wonders.
I would love to chat with people who are suffering, or have suffered like me. I would love to offer advice, support or just friendship.
All of the doctors, therapists, and books emphasise that we are not alone- that many, many people suffer from anxiety. And this site is testimony to that.
So hello and a big hug to you all! I look forward to speaking to some of you :)
