looking for a friendly ear :)

hey everyone. I'm Kayleigh, i'm 21 and i've been having panic attacks from about the age of 14. I have several months of feeling ok and getting on with everyday life and then several months of having terrible panic attacks and struggling to get out of the house. I have an amazing boyfriend and a mum who also gets panic attacks, but i dunno, think i just need to talk with people who don't know me so closely. Know what i mean?

I'm having a really crappy time at the moment. Was on Cipralex, came off around March/April time, had the worst withdrawals of my life (literally wanted to kill myself). Went back on the pills, got myself back together a bit and then came off for good about 4 months ago. Fully pill free but feeling like i've kinda lost my security blanket. Everything's just waaay too real now and i'm struggling. I'm an emetophobic and had the bus journey from hell the other week which has sent me on a downward spiral. Been very depressed, crying a lot and having lots of panic attacks. Finding it hard, and why did this have to happen at christmas time?! Just my luck!

OMG that was my life story right? lol. sorry! hello everyone, hope you're all coping well :)
