Hi
I have suffered panic and anxiety since i was 14! nearly 20yrs now :ohmy:
Since having alot of trauma in my life to contend with i was at breaking point! I'd completely lost control of myself and i was at my lowest.
I decided to have CBT sessions after trying various other treatments (hypnotherepy/councilling etc.....)
Im on my 11session and im a different person!
I wasn't sure what i was learning would work in real life BUT it did :yesyes:
I was tested in the worst of circumstances tho
I had befriended a lovely man who became very close to me and he had been through the CBT and was helping me with the course.
He was my carpet and if i had an anxiety he was on hand 24/7 THEN suddenly out of the blue he died.
I went into the most biggest panic i'd ever experienced! I had to prioristise my life there and then, i had to drop everything and concentrate on my CBT skills to get me out of the massive anxietys that were spinning round....
I was frightened! BUT within 3days the panic and anxietys had gone! It had worked!
Instead of grieving i was in a state of panic and once i had controlled the panic from the skills i had learned i could grieve.
I still have some anxietys left to get control of BUT i can asure you all that it can work and give you back control
