Hi,im new 2 the site and would really like some advice. I have been suffering from panic attacks and general feelings of anxiety for a few months now. I dont know why as i have always been quite upbeat and outgoing, iv had problems like most people and normally these dont affect my everyday life but im finding it harder to cope at the moment. None of my friends or family seem to understand so it would be a big help to talk to someone who has felt/been through the same.
Thanks,
Em :blush:
I thought i should explain a little bit more about how im feeling. Im anxious more or less all the time,always looking over my shoulder and fearing the worst. The panic attacks i have mainly come at night and i honestly feel like im going to die or at least be seriously hurt, after iv had 1 i cant sleep. At the moment im drinking nearly every night to help me get at least an hours sleep...i dont know how much longer i can go on like this! I have been to my doctor and have been put on betablockers but they dont help. Im too ashamed 2 go back again as last time the Dr made me feel like i was doing something wrong. Sorry for going on a bit but thought the best way to get advice is 2 let u know exactly what im feeling!
