Hi everyone,
My names is Darren and I am 35.
I've been suffering from high anxiety and depression for the past 4 months.
I moved to South East Asia at the start of June, in order to be with my partner, but was flown back to the UK at the end of August by the travel insurance company due to my ill health (I have been diagnosed with multiple arrythmia - irregular heart beat). Other than the irregular heart beat the doctors couldn't find any major irregularities with my heart.
My anxiety related directly to this, as I get many physical symptoms, and sometimes feel what are like heart attacks. I am living in constant fear of having a heart attack. My friends are trying to reassure me that I am in a cycle of anxiety and panic attacks.
I'm seeing a cardiologist here in the UK within the next 3 weeks, so hopefully they will get to the bottom of it all. I'm getting counselling at the moment which is helping a little, and I am also going to try hypnotherapy.
I find that reading forums on anxiety and panic websites helps me to feel less alone in my head, and so I am so happy to have found this website and the sense if support and community that it provides.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I hope that you are all doing well today, and feeling supported in your anxiety.
Have a peaceful day.
Darren :)
