Introducing myself

[coleen1974]

Hiya, I am Coleen and I am 34.
I have suffered panic attacks for about 15 years, and have learned a lot of avoidance techniques!! I have decided I need to face up to this and not let it control my life.
This site was recommended by my sister and I have found it very helpful. i am loking forward to chatting to other people in similar situations to me and know that it is not "just me" .

Welcome Coleen
Since starting with anxiety, have found great comfort in this site. When feeling anxious/panicy I read symptoms on left and makes me feel calmer straight away (printed them out now so can carry them everywhere!!). I always thought it was 'just me' who was suffering with this and comforts u to know that u r not the only one.
