Hi everyone

This is my first time to this site & what I have seen so far is great. I have suffered depression, anxiety & panic attacks on & off for the last ten years.

Just realising that I am not alone with it all is reassuring, I had started to think that I was going mad. Reading about panic attacks made me smile to myself with relief that I wasn't alone in thinking "Argghhhh I'm going to faint, have a heart attack, die etc etc etc"

I know there is no "miracle" cure out there however I believe just having the reassurance & support of others & sites like this goes a long way in helping you on that path to recovery.

For the first time in ages I feel positive, thank you

Hi there Dolly,
welcome, you will find lots of kind people here, with lots of good advice, it is so reassuring to know that we are not alone, keep in touch and do read all the information on offer, i know it has helped me enormously. As you say, there is no miracle cure, but with good advice and lots of will and patience it can be 'beaten' if that's the right word take care.

It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.

Being defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.
