Hiya all,
I just want to say what a great site this is.. I have suffered from anxiety/panic on and off for the last 20 years. They started when I was 16 after my parents split up. They became worse after the birth of my first child was born. My anxiety is nearly always over my health. Mainly missed heartbeats and fear of passing out. I have lost alot of my independance as I won't drive on the highways anymore and I hate been stuck in traffic, myhusband get a little cranky over this.
I am alot better than I used to be. I haven't been on medication for over 4 years. I have just started taking vitamins. If I could just get over this fear of passing out and stop focusing on the heartbeat thing I would be ok (I think).
This year I am trying to face my driving fears, so I drive a in to town once a week. (We live in the country so town is 35minutes away). I drive on the country road to get there but it is quicker to drive on the highway, so I am going to drive that way on Monday with a friend.
Anyway thanks for taking the time to read this and I already feel comfort just from reading other posts on this site.
Take care
P.S sorry this is so long
