[Jjeni]

Hi all - im kinda not new but i havent been on for a while my names jeni and im 31 single mum of just one - I have suffered with anxiety for many years but the last couple have been hell - i get bouts of depression too but the anxiety makes me worse - i also have ibs although thats fairly under control. My anxiety is mainly GAD but i have Health anxiety too. This is all made worse that im on my own every day as my parents and family dont understand or want to understand and i cant talk to them about anythign as they all think im going round the bloody twist x

I live in the uk in the midlands and thats about me :)

Hi

That's the whole point of this site. Support, help, understanding, information and the realisation that you are not alone with this.

Hi all,
it's my turn now. I've been suffering from this 'thing' that I don't really know what it is. doctors say they are panic attacks but I do feel there is more to it. Doctors are only interested in trying to suppress the symptoms whereas I'm more trying to find out the cause of it. I think it could be globus histericus but I'm not sure, as you all know unless someone else has it they would not really understand. Found that it helps writing about it though, and hopefully getting some support from others in the same situation. Anyone out there that could tell me how long this attacks could last for? months? years? and when you get the symptoms, i.e. difficulty swallowing, short of breath feel like you are about to die or you have something much worse than what the doctors say, how long does it last for? Can you all manage all right going to work every day knowing there is noone there who could help you? Sorry, don't want to seem to depressing, but at present I'm having one ....... I hope you understand. Love to all and kind regards.:yahoo:
