Hello my name is Sarah I am 26 and have been getting panic attacks for the last 3 year, I have found I seem to be getting alot worse and when ever I am in a situation I cant walk out of or get out off I have a major panic attack.
This means I do not go on trains planes, lifts public loos rooms with out wiindow any where with a locked door.
My mum has booked a holiday for me and my 2 children aged 3 and 6, but the very thought fills me with terror.
When i say any thing they say oh u will be fine u will love it, stop thinking about panic attacks. NO HELP AT ALL!!!!!!
This then makes me more stressed as they have not got the first idea how I am feeling, and I can see by there faces they just wanna say oh pull your self together.
The Dr gave me Citalopram about a year ago but I am so scared of taking tabs I wont even take a pracetamol if I am ill that i have left them in the cupboard, after maybe my 3rd time this week of just crying uncontrolble as I feel so frustrated with my self I look forward to nothing due to my panic and listening to my poor babies saying dont cry mum we will look after u, I just took the first dose of citalopram and have to keep on I have to get better for them.
I am now feeling a little light headed and sleepy and am praying these tablets work. When u say it will take 4/6 weeks to kick in will I feel better if they agreee with me to face my phobias of trains ETC......
ok sorry about that long story, feeling pretty awful tonight and once I started could not stop.
Thank u for reading.
Many thanks Sarah
