Hi everyone,
My real name is Emma but my friends all call me curly, because of my hair (It's a bit wild! - like a big bush) lol...
I have had anxiety for quite a few years now but I just thought it was part of my personality so didn't think much of it really until I had a panic attack a couple of years ago - hit me like a bolt out of the blue!! Suddenly I became feared of going out etc. I managed to control the panic but the anxiety was still there and just recently the physical symptoms became so bad that I could no longer ignore them. Trembling, headaches, palpatations, chest pains etc...
So I decided enough was enough and went to the doctors last week. I am now on medication and after a rocky start (few minor side effects) I am now feeling much more like my old self. Suddenly the past few years are becoming a lot clearer in mind - I thought I was going mad at one point!
Anyway, I've babbled for long enough now - so i'll get off :)
This site seems great and its really nice to talk to people in the same boat, so cheers everyone...
Luv curlybird xx
