my first post

Hi, I am suffering badly from panic and anxiety attacks. It is causing me great unhappiness. Its really wierd because my life has actually got easier over the last few months and I have so much to be happy about but I have been through severe stress and worry previously and started having panic attacks over a year ago. I didn't know what they were then and have only just started looking into this since visiting my GP. I feel so alone and really need some good sound advice from fellow sufferers.

Often panic arrives when the stress has passed but you are still on overload

Your anxiety is the human representation of the pictures that you paint using your many vivid colours of revolving and reoccurring thoughts.

Thanks Meg. I really think I am going mad and it has been getting worse and worse. Constant dark thoughts and feeling that I am on my way out. Ridiculous!! It has started affecting my work too and I have tried so hard to get to a position of independence for myself and my two kids. I really don't want to mess things up now.

My doctor has asked me to think about medication, what do you think?

Many people don't take any and do fine , many do take some and do fine too. Choices. Ask him for CBT instead ...

If this is really recent you may want to try without for a bit longer and tackle it head on yourself .

It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.
