How could i have thought i was alone with my anxiety and panic attacks.
It all started to get bad last autumn due to a lot of family stress and i took myself off to the doctors convinced i had a serious physical illness. I was shocked when she told me it was due to stress. I thought my body had betrayed me and felt i had no control over my symptoms. thats when the panic attacks started. It all just escalated from there.Luckily i had a doctor who was good at explaining what was going on. I actually feel alot better now and have been taking propanolol on and off when i feel the stress building.
I have learnt so much about panic/anxiety over the last few months and this place is a brilliant help. The more you understand the less fear there is so i hope things will never get so bad again. would love to chat to others and hear their stories.
