Hi

[fairymary]

Hello to you all. I have suffered with panic attacks for about 5 years. It all started after I had a bowel operation. I was working fulltime and had no control over my bowel for quite a few weeks after the operation. I had several situations where I had to run out of the room. Anyway I now panic if I have to go to the dentist, doctors, interviews. My life has changed alot in the past 3 years. I now have a 3 year old daughter and I do not work, so my panic attacks arise when I go to playgroups, friends houses (new friends that I have made since having my daughter) To me it all comes down to needing the loo. You read all the advice and they always say "whats the worse that can happen, you are not going to pass out, etc" Im not worried about that, Im worried about not making it to the toilet on time.
