Hi there

Well, I have been reading lots about other people on the site and it's been a really great help so thought I would write a little about me. I have not been diagnosed with Panic/Aniexty Disorder but from the symptoms described am 99.9% certain this is what I am suffering with!

My head went so dizzy the other day at work I was unable to drive home! I visited the Doctor who checked me over, made me feel like I was wasting his time and sent me on my way, telling me he didn't know what was causing the dizziness but to come back in 24 hours if I still felt the same! Boo!

I've managed to tie the "attacks" down to certain situations and would love to know if other people have particular triggers?

Keeping this one short and sweet but am here if anyone would like to chat!

Hi lollypop! Well done on finding the site, it really helps. :)

In answer to your question I do find situations can trigger it, the worst for me being large crowds of people or when lots of people are in a tight space like a bus. It seems like this is the same for a lot of people.

Hope this helps

Hi Lollypop75, :hugs:

:welcome: to NMP. It's great that you've joined. There is so much information & help here.

Situations that could 'trigger' panic attacks & anxiety for me are: Feeling trapped in a situation/place where escape may not be easy, social situations & driving. I can also relate to the feeling of dizziness that you describe. I have found that it helps if I keep reminding myself that this is down to anxiety and I am not (and never have) collapsed or fainted due to this.

I hope it helps to know that you're not alone in how you're feeling.

Best wishes :flowers:
