Hi, my name is Jo.
A couple of very good friends pointed me in this sites direction. I've been having a good read and its amazing how many people have the same thought process as me!
I'm off work at the minute.I've suffered from mild anxiety for some time, but I always seemed to manage quite well. About 6 weeks ago I had my first panic attack in years and it has scared me! I was at work and luckily my manager was there. I had a couple of weeks off and teh doc gave me some beta blockers and diazapam to calm me down. Worse thing is that when i got back to work I felt like i was going mad!Just so dizzy and having issues with food.
I work with the public and because of this they've signed me off for 2 weeks because they are worried i'm in no state to be there and i'll put others at risk! which I understand but it makes me feel pathetic!
It wouldn't be so bad but making myslf go in was forcing me to face my fears, I was trying to be strong and not run away like i have done in the past. Now i'm so scared that I won't be able to go back because its been made into such an issue, I just want to be normal!
Anywya, sorry for that rambling introduction. I apologise for any spelling mistakes too!
I can't believe so many people have the same sorts of health issue panics as me, this has opened up a new world for me!
Thanks
