Hi, decided to join up on here at last, don't know why I haven't until now as I've regularly used the info and read the forums for a while now, I've found them to be a great help and at times stopped a panic in progress just by reading through the posts and info, Just reading similar stories and realizing your not the person in the world to feel such extreme symptoms is a relief thats priceless.
and a bit about me :blush:
Ive been suffering panics and anxiety regulary for a few years now and compared with how bad it got a couple of years ago I would say now It is far better in the frequency and intensity of the rubbish symptoms you get when your having a flap attack as I like to call it :winks: ... 2 years ago I would say I felt either extreemly anxious or in a panic most days and for most of the day, if not all day... I never ever want to go be there again it was a most frustrating and frightning time of life for me, and now thankfully Im more sporadic with feelings and rarely now when Im feeling odd does it ever last more than a few hours, I had thought I was pretty ok all the time up until this last week where I seem to be struggling to get my head into normal mode for some reason.
Apart from the usual panics I also get really random phobias, they seem to be along side my panics, if Im having a lot of panics I find the phobias and strange irrational fears play up too.
and....... Im completly deaf in one ear, born like it ...not a problem you wouldnt notice if you knew me, but I actually only have one ear physicaly ad the other isnt there... like the inner ear physically never grew, I know this effects my balance and Ive read alot on inner ear and panics assosiated so Im very intrested in finding out more.



If I met me, I would say I was probably a little bit mad :yesyes:

Welcome chicken licken...I know what you mean about reading other people's experiences, it really helps to know that you're not alone. Look forward to reading your posts :)

Hey chicken licken. This forum helps me a lot as well. Its reassuring that there are a lot of people on here that have the same symptoms as you (and they've not died from some unknown disease :roflmao: as I usually think i have!) It also gives you a chance to speak to people who actually know what you're going through and what it feels like to be so scared and irrational!

Take care x
