Just like to introduce myself really,
My name is Phil, as you can guess from my user name.
I Too suffer from Panic, and anxiety from Panic, and more recently depression, and just a general lack of motivation, caused from my anxiety i believe:unsure: . Unfortunatley i have had a real bad couple of days, to the point where i am like a wave machine, and really am dreading everything. I know its my fault for dwelling on these feelings and thaughts. I really am trying to think positve, but as i have never been this bad for so long, i can't help it, i feel i have hit ROCK BOTTOM.

I know i am not alone, but i think i have been in denial for a long time,
and have managed to control Panic, or at least but it right at the back of mind where it wasn't effecting my everyday life for Years. I am normaly a very happy go lucky, confident person, who enjoys life:mad: , Now it feels like i'm building a wall, and avoiding ANY situation if i can, it doesnt help i work from home, don't socialise much, and We have had the worst 2 summers if you can call them that ever!! lol..

I hope that wasn't too much Neg, I am trying to be +++, its just not easy, and could do with a little support, and hopefully contribute, and help as much as i can as well.

Regards,
P:)

You know what Phil, I think part of the problem can be pretending all is ok when it is not, a little negativity/ranting/ is good, get it out to people who understand you.

Hugs and welcome:welcome:

Thanks for dropping by my introduction Post everyone to welcome me,
its means a lot. I have spent some time looking through posts, and getting a feel of the site, and i must say its great and reasuring that i am not on my own here :-),

Veronica, Thanks for that advice i will check out the book,
I finally got myself destracted enough to stop the cycle, but jesus did i have some pent up adrenaline!, i felt like i could run a marathon.. ( i wish ) i took the dog for a fast paced walk.

I feel better at the moment, a lot of it is down to me stressing, as i work from home, and am my own boss, own hours, alone all day. Today i am just having a lazy day and going to try not to get anxious...

Phil.

:welcome: Hi Phil
that wave machine analogy is spot on.There is a brilliant book called 'self help for your nerves' by Dr claire Weekes available from the NMP shop and also free downloads to your MP3 of her work. I cannot recommend this enough as it really explains what is happening to us and how we can recover.Glad you have found us.

Veronica

Wow Thanks for that Veronica, i just spent 2 - 3 hours listning to it,
and i totally understand it, I can't believe how she describes it to the letter,
it was like she was talking about me!!.. I havn't cried in years!, but i did to that, it was a lot to accept though. I am looking forward to recover, i know it won't be easy but small small steps. I havn't got agrobia yet, but it is / was getting to that stage, but yet i still wouldn't accept that i was ill.

I strongly recomend to anyone reading this to give those mps's a real listen when you have got the time.
