i just wanted to post this to give other anxiety/panic attack sufferers a bit of support and a possible idea...
ok, so last week i finally started my counselling, and although my doctor had advised me this probably wouldnt help me with my anxiety, it actually really has!
there's been so much ive bottled up over the last 2 years mostly, and not been able to tell anyone because i was so scared of peoples reactions and how they would react, that to tell a total stranger, who didnt judge me, just wanted to help, i cried solidly for an hour, but so much stuff from the past came out of my mouth that i didnt even really know i'd bottled up.
granted,when i came out that evening i felt exhausted, but the week that has followed has seen improvement!! i have had a full week of feeling much better, and the only time i have felt slightly anxious was before bed, but then i fell asleep.
i hope to some people who may be wondering whether to go for some counselling this has helped some, it really did help to get things off my chest, even my fears about dying etc which has been my main issue.
