Hi I am also new.. I have been reading the forums for a while though and realized that I am not alone. and they do help.
I am 27 years old and been suffering with panic and anxiety for 5 months ever since i broke my arm.
At the beginning I had a really bad panic attack, I thought I was having a heart attack. I had my fiance' call the ambulance I thought for sure I was a gonner. Then when I got to the hospital they asked if this ever happened to me before.. Of course I said no. Then the doctor told me what happened. I had a Panic attack. I never even knew what one was. He had to explain it to me. after that it went down hill and I never felt the same since. I had severe anxiety everyday, I thought i was dying, I couldn't come off the couch for 2-3 weeks and I lost 15 pounds. Then the doctor gave me Paxil and it did not agree with me. And now I am on BuSpar and I think it is not working that great anymore. For the last 2 weeks I have been getting really light headed right out of the blue. then I start panicking. I have a hard time going to work because I dont want anyone else to see me this way. Sometimes I feel like I am going to start screaming for no reason. But i didnt do that yet.
I am not as anxious as I was at the beginning. and I am scared that is going to come back again. I really hope it dont.
But this forum is great.. I found people that i can talk to that haves the same problem as I do. and they can give me support and reassure it is just anxiety that is playing with you.. So thanks to you all!!!
Love Brandy
