hello
i've recently started having panic attacks are being someone who constantly worries about everything since i was little.....im actually trying to calm myself down out of one as i type here at work :unsure: not quite sure whats brought them on but i've been under a lot of stress over the past year or so with various things (new role at work, studying in the evenings) which culminated in a bad case of flu and chest infection where i couldnt breathe properly - none of which helped i guess!
im also reading the claire weekes book for self help - although im finding it hard to apply the 'floating method' (and as an added bonus my dad had a heart attack in his early 50's so im convinced im going have one each time....although since reading the book this has helped to try and reason that its not what is happening to me)
it would be nice to speak to people who understand how it feels as it can be scary and frustrating especially when im told to just get a grip at home!
