Hi! I'm new!

[jotom]

Hi, I'm Jo! What a website:D

I have suffered from panic disorder for 13 years - first attack happened whilst on holiday in the carribean - 6 months after my dad died unexpectedly.

Wont bore you all with the details of the last 13 years - many of the usual ups and downs that we all have to deal with!

My main problem now is the obsession I have with any kind of 'different' feelings that happen in my body - numbness/shakes/tingling/pain - I convince myself that I'm at the very least having a heart attack/stroke/ brain haemmorhage. I know that this is totally irrational but when in the throes of a panic, nobody can talk sense to me!!

Anyway, my GP decided that CBT would be good for me and after being on the waiting list for 8 months, I have my first session on Monday morning. After reading other members stories from this site, I think this could be exactly what I need.

So glad I found this site - and thanks for reading![8D]

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

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