Hello, I am Jo and I have suffered from panic attacks and medical anxiety for 4 yrs now. Recognised, that is! I have had bouts of mild to middling depression through out my life. I take no medication. I have had an NHS course of psyciatric sessions, which were helpful...they got me out of the house after a yr of being inside mostly.
I am now at a stage in my life where I would like to really try and shake this stuff off. I had dreams once, and would like to get round to them before I am too old to do anything! So, very pleased to find this site, and hopefully share some wisdom from those further down the path.... Thank you and chat soon!

Welcoeme Jo,

I am a newcomer too and understand having longevity of anxiety/ panic attacks. It is so good to chat to others who can relate to this debilitating condition that can be sooo hard to explain to non sufferers. :blush:

Hopefully this forum will assist with some support and understanding that we all need during the tough times and by the way, well done on making the decision to try and shake this! You can do it! :yahoo:
