Hello! My name is Marie, I'm a mother of two a girl whose 4 and a boy whose 19months.
I've recently been diagnosed with anxiety and panic attacks, although I've probably had them a while but I never knew what it was.
Over the past few months they've got pretty bad and I'm more scared of having a panic attack then anything else.
I seem to have different symptoms the main one that makes me really scared our like having a rush felling through my body, its like all the colour going out of me! I go pale and my pulse starts racing.
I had a bad one last week. It started as a ace in the back of my neck then I had a warm feeling rush through my body from my head to my bum, I was in the back of a car going to work and it wasn't expected.
I nearly had to ask my work mate to stop the car, I just had to get out!
I've had neck ace ever since.
I have other panic attacks mainly in the night where I've been tight chested, my throat feels as though its swelled up and I feel as though I'm not taking in enough oxygen in.
Others start with the rush feeling, my pulse starts racing and then I start having the shakes.
I've been on some tablets called Citalopram but they started to make me worse, I'm now on some tablets called Sertraline which our helping a little.
My doctor thinks I'm coping pretty well considering how bad I have it, but I cope by trying to distract myself and I my faith in God!
I really would like to hear from anyone who also has these rush feelings, I've read all the leaflets from the doctors but they never mention them.
Its these symptoms that scare me the most.:scared15:
I'm new to No More Panic, but I look forward to any surport and advice anyone can give.
Thankyou! from a mother trying to cope!!!!!
