Introduction

[Kristi Pipkin]

Hi

I started having panic attacks about 3 months ago which came from out of the blue whilst travelling to work. My main symptoms are a feeling of unreality, going 'crazy', dizziness and heart palputations - these have come from having about 5 years of full on stress. I have started seeing a lady who is helping me to channel my thoughts more positively and I have a strong support group of family and friends.

This site has really helped me think on the positive side and not the negative side which I have been doing and has also given me the courage to get back on public transport after two weeks of avoidance. I look forward to receiving other advice and information and am happy to talk about my situation and how I am dealing with it :D

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

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