Another newbie !!

[MissiD]

Hi, I'm Mel. I'm 34 and live in Oxford.
I've suffered with general anxiety on & off for several years but things got really bad over xmas when I started having panic attacks. Although these seem to have settled now I am left with a general feeling of anxiety whenever I try to go too far from home or go anywhere new etc... guess I'm still afraid of the panic??
I have been having some CBT which at times makes me feel quite positive but other times it just feels like such hard work!
This looks like a really great supportive group so I hope I can join you in your chats & perhaps make some new friends that understand what this is all about!
Look forward to talking with you soon:roflmao:

Hey There,

Im new here too, and a bit like you ive had Cbt, but dont you sometimes find that the panic is happening before you have time to bring into practise what you learn at cbt?
Sometimes now Im even aware that an attack is coming, but I still seem to stupidly think that it wont amount to anything and rather than do anything like cbt, I wait and then wonder what on earth just happened when im in full swing with the panicking.lol
Perhaps its laziness I think on my part not to practise what ive been taught, and sometimes I get angry and think why cant I just be "normal" and not have to rely on techniques and pills to keep me sane, so I try to do it alone.
I hope I make sense here.
