Wow! I've just spent hours looking at this website and found so many things that I can identify with!
Basically I am a panic attack sufferer.. I had them quite badly in 2002 and recovered after some CBT.. i then had p.a.'s on and off about once a month until Jan this year and started getting them really frequently.. it ended up getting me really down and worried/anxious about EVERYTHING!! such a negative downward spiral ie, i'm never going to get out of this feeling.. my fab doctor is great and has put me on a list to see a counsellor for CBT again but i feel a bit of a failure having to do it again :-( - i wish nothing went on in my brain - ignorance is bliss apparantly! i had an appt with a psychiatrist who put me on a low dose of prozac as i was so disillusioned and feeling so hopeless.. anyway these have made me quite trembly and even more anxious so i'm being put on effexor (i think) instead.. i'd rather not take anything to be honest but i'll see how i go.. sorry i have gone on rather alot! I just read a post by Jude about depersonalisation/derealisation and really really know exactly that feeling.. its just the worst.. that feeling like you dont exist, or does the world even exist... etc etc.. such a spiralling thought.. well.. thanks for whoever who has read this far! and here's hoping we all see that light shining for us soon...xxx
