Hi
My name's Laura, I'm 31 and have 2 children.
I've suffered from anxiety & panic attacks on and off since childhood, but for the last couple of months it's been so bad until one day I couldn't leave the house to collect my daughter from school... I was just sobbing, curled up on the sofa and imagining all the worst things like my children would be taken away, I'd be sectioned etc etc. In the end my mum came rushing over and got a dr out to give me diazepam and a referral to mental health team.
I'm having CBT therapy, psychiatrist coming out once a week to check on me and taking 20mg citalopram, diazepam (to leave the house) and have been prescribed zopiclone because I can't stay asleep for more than 2hrs - but I'm too scared to take it (!)
This site has been such a comfort to me - thanks!
