Hi guys,
Please help! I've been struggling with very bad panic for about a year now. I have been taking propanolol (10mg x3 day) since about Sept and Diazepam for quite a bit of the time as well.
Was so proud of myself cos stopped taking D for 7 weeks but had an awful panic attack today and just could not control the feelings and just had to take it. Am so sad and frustrated with myself. Thought i was stronger but i am just feeling so week.
My mum passed away a few years ago and to be honest have not been right since. She's been gone 5 years now and i can't seem to get my confidence back, i always worry i'm going to go the same way and worry if she was in pain and scared when it happened (she was alone at home at the time). I was only 20 when it happened and i just dont feel i'm ever going to be get over this fear and constant anxiety/panic. I feel ill with it most days and it's exhausting. I exercise daily (cross trainer for 20-30 mins) and walk my dog and take my propanolol but nothing helps. I have hypno regularly and have tried acupuncture, counselling, reflex - basically all the alternative thearpies. It's costing me a fortune and i just feel like nothing i do fixes it. I'm in constant pain with neck and shoulders from the tension which causes dizzyness and ringing in my ears - which again costs loads in chiropractic care.
Sorry for the rant guys, thanks for reading. I am just feeling low and really have tried so much self help to get well. I know these things are time bound but i can't go on like this. It's ruining my like.
Any advice
Thanks xxx
