really need some support...

Hi,

I have just moved out for the first time into the city, close to the university where I shall be attending in two weeks. 2 Nights ago me and my boyfriend were in the apartment having a few drinks ready to go out, when anxiety came on all of a sudden, so bad, actually prob. the worst i've ever had. I threw up 6 times, something i've never done with anxiety, and I couldn't stop rushing to the bathroom. Now my friend has moved in and my bf has gone back home. I have been feeling so confident lately, and now that this has happen, my confidence has been shattered. I know its a massive change to go through and that even people without anxiety problems would feel emotional and at edge but I just feel I need that extra bit of support.

I'm going to the GP on saturday to be referred to a specialist. I'm considering either cbt or hypnotherapy. I know why I get anxiety and p.a's, my mother is an alcoholic and throughout my whole childhood I have been in an unpredictable environment causing me to feel insecure in adult life My thoughts are my worst enemy, im constantly predicting failure - even when I try and stop.

I'm so brave to do everything that other people do - and I know that. I have so much hope that this can get better.

Right now I just need support.
Thanks

First off Congratulations on school and moving. It is a major change for anyone, especially someone who has anxiety and panic. It is so normal to have anxiety when you have a major life change. Even people who dont have anxiety have some when doing a major change. Feel proud of yourself for what you have accomplished. Try and remember what you have been doing before that has calmed you sown. You have already taken a huge step and made it, the rest will be easy. You can do this. Take care and good luck to you.:yesyes:
