I have suffered from anxiety attacks and agoraphobia for around nine months, and with support from a loving and compasionate wife and a good clinical psychologist I have made some progress in beating this living hell that the condition causes.It is the setbacks that cause me the most concerns, as one day you feel that one day you are well on the road to defeating it and then the next day you are worse than ever.The changing sensations which make me anxious about my heart one day and then my stomach the next.I have not being able to work for over a year because of the anxiety and sometimes feel that I have a uncertain future which sometimes can bring on a depressive mood but I try not to dwell on it to much.
I feel that being active in a support group where people feel the same is the way to go, as it has been my experience that the best advice comes from those that have been through anxiety symptoms and are getting better either through cognitive behaviour therapy or medication or a combination of both. Doctors I find diagnose but usually have not got the life experience to give you concrete advice that actually works effectivelly.So please give me any advice you feel may help.When I feel I have something that may be of benefit to others I will recriprocate.
