Hi all,
I am posting here as I hope the administrators of NMP will allow me to ask all of you for some help with a book I am planning. Here is my background: I have had health anxiety, anxiety attacks (with panic attacks) and agoraphobia for the last 16 months. During this time I have tried antidepressants, tranquillisers, beta blockers, GABA, L-Theanine, Valerian, Rhodiola, Passiflora and vitamins/minerals in a bid to help. I have also had CBT, EFT, hypnotherapy, acupuncture, counselling and have been to four different GPs. I have spent a fortune. I have read many, many self help books and would now like to put everything I have learned to some use. It is also a bid to draw a line under this period of my life in a positive way. My father has had panic disorder for over 30 years. I also have blood/needle phobia.
This is not the first time I have been through a period of bad anxiety. Fifteen years ago I spent a year on Valium and beta blockers and consequently could hardly finish a thought.
I am very committed to gathering information from those living with anxiety/panic and producing a book of real value and worth when it comes to successfully addressing the causes and effects. I want to ask one hundred subscribers to this website to answer a detailed questionnaire. I would e-mail you the questionnaire privately and you need not give your real name. I am so sure that this information, compiled accurately and correctly would greatly benefit others. I hope for a positive response from NMP and all of you. Many thanks,
Milly
