Afternoon all,

Afew years back I was suffering from panick attacks but managed to get them under control. For some reason over the past 3 weeks they have really started to get out of control again and I cant seem to get my head together.

I am now on the sick from work and dont go very far, the verythought of going shopping or walking the dog makes me feel sick, clammy and like I am going to pass out.

Im going to the Drs on wed AGAIN about this but dont seem to be gerrin any help at all I dont wanna live life like this anymore and its starting to anoy my bf as I dont wanna go anywhere do anything

can sumone please help me with this, is there medication that can be taken to at least get me back on my feet to fight this im starting to feel really lost!

Thanks in advance

Hi Lesley,

Welcome to the site

Read as much on here and the home pages as possible to really understand and absorb what is happening inside you.

You have managed to get it under control once and will be able to do so again

You need to keep going out and about or you will slowly feel the walls closing in and before long will have developed agoraphobia and really become restricted.

You can print stuff out from here to show your boyfriend . It is extremely difficult for non sufferers to understand and mostly they get frustrated as they don't know what to do to help.

It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.

hey and thanks for all your kind replys

Today I woke up and felt that a huge cloud had been lifted since I made my post yesterday.

My sister is going to take me shopping this afternoon just up to a local small shop but this is a small step to sum but if i can manage it it will be huge to me.

Just knowing you guys understand and are here if i need you is a great feeling. I really dont wanna be house bound at my age and I dont know how long work will be understanding for!! I need to fight this and from today im going to :)

Thanks to you guys i know i can talk about this if i need to which is a huge weight off my mind so thanks

I will be back later to let you know how my shopping trip went but so far so good

Thanks again guys!

"see when ya were in such an such you were fine, stop being silly nothing is going to happen here"

Thats a good tip if people are looking for one

There is certainly a time and place for JFDI - Just bleep Do it,
but initially its often more benficial to start off more gently- what would you say to your best friend if she were facing tthis .. gentleness and comforting words with rewards can do wonders.

JFDI I used more for when I knew I had done xyz recently, but was now having a blip.
