Hi everyone.
I joined NMP a few days ago to get the support I desperately need.
I have suffered from depression for the last 7 and a half years
however my panic attacks didn't start until February this year.
Initally I would only take them on the train on the way home but now
they happen more frequently and without any warning or incident to
start them off.
I have had them everywhere however I've recently had one in my work
which scared me more as I don't really want everyone to know. I am not
ashamed of my condition and if someone asks me then I would tell them
but it's not information that I hand out to random people.
I get a lot of support from my boyfriend and still live at home with my
parents. My dad worries about me but my mum is more of the thought that
I should "snap out of it" or that I seem to do something to bring on
these attacks. The other week I was out shopping with my mum and my auntie when I took one and I think then that was the first time that my mum has realised that they happen to me all the time without warning and I can't do anything about it.
I have recently seen a psychiatrist who diagnosed me with Depressive Panic
Anxiety disorder and I have now been refered for CBT. I am still waiting on
word about these appointments and found NMP and would like to speak to
people who know what I am going through.
Sorry for rambling and thanks if you made it to the end of this post. :unsure:
take care
loads of love
