Hi Milly I am here. I know its so hard at times to tell the doctor exactly how you are feeling, but you have to be true to yourself. Tell him exactly how you are feeling, tell him what you have just told us on here. Even if you break down in tears in front of him, don't worry about it. I did just that yesterday with my doctor.

That awful knot in your stomach and the feeling of fear is not going to hurt you, you know deep down that it won't, but I also know how hard it is to believe that when feeling like it.

Carry on sipping cold water, and try to keep yourself occupied, I find that this helps to take my mind off of how I am feeling.

Sorry I cant be of much use hun, but I am thinking of you...and please let me know how you get on.

I think most of us feel ashamed with the way we feel at times. I know this morning I was very angry and upset with myself for having a panic attack at my boys school, kind of felt what's the point of going on...but now I have calmed down I can see past that.

No need to apologise either Milly, am just glad that you managed to get to the doctors ok.
