Wot a week

[Gadger]

Hi my name is Gareth,im 33 years old,had a panic attack at 27 and affected me in ways i'm only realising now.Changed jobs from an electrician to a contracts manager a year ago,first high powered meeting i had after a couple of months resulted in a small panic attack.After brushing that to one side(trying to) last week i had the worst one up to yet solely due to the amount of workload i think,different to the previous ones.Temp doctor gave me seroxat tablets,took them back to my normal doctor who then threw them in the bin.
Just wondering if theres anyone out there who's been through or can relate?:shrug:

Much appreciated

Hi gadger,
Panic attacks are very frightening. They can dominate your thinking and stop you from moving forward. I too suffer from panic attacks. They are normal in people who are anxious. What you will have to do is try and find what is trigging your attacks and go from there.
Give yourself some space as well and slow down at work. Your job sounds exhausting!! Hope this helps.
