Hi all, I just wanted to let you all know how i'm doing seeing as I haven't been here for a while.
I was diagnosed with anxiety and panic attacks two years ago and I thought my life would never be the same again, I was to be like this forever, or so I thought !
It's been a long 2 years through which i've had so many ups and downs and at times I couldn't see a light at the end of the tunnel, but I can tell you all now there is a light, a real big one, and it's fantastic when you've found it.
I feel so positive and happy with myself and my life and I have felt like this for a few months now. I have a part time job which is going great, I can now drive anywhere I need to go, I feel confident in suituations that used to scare me to death, such as shopping queues and driving.
I can now take my four year old son out by myself and every weekend I drive 40 miles to take my son swimming, all by myself !!!
I also take him to football club every monday, all by myself again.
I used to be so hindered by my anxiety and panic, and now I feel free and confident in myself, it's a great feeling.
I still take my medication which I have never seen as a problem (propanonol and cipralex). I hope this gives you all some hope that it can be beaten and that you don't have to be a sufferer.
Take care all Tara xxx:D
