Hi my names claire and ive been recommend to join this site and connect with people sharing similar problems as me.
Im at uni and developed panic disorder at sixth form nearly two years ago, just recently i have started seeing a councillor and she has given me tips and tasks to complete. I sometimes wish so hard it would all go away but i know it takes time.
I have recently cut out caffeine and now have herbal drinks. I also attend yoga once a week and focus on breathing exercises daily.
Everyday i gasp for breath, every 5minutes somedays and other days it may be less frequent.. every half an hour or every hour. I was wondering if anyone else had the same problem? Sometimes i yawn in public as i dont want people to question why i am breathing this way, because many people do not understand... not even my parents which is quite sad.
I only have a few close friends and only one person do i tell my feelings to as i feel like no-one understands and when i was talking to a collegue at work about my fear of flying (although i still carry on going on holidays) she said i was 'pathetic' - joking - but it really hurt me.
I hope i will get some good responses and helpful advice. What is everyone else doing to help themselves overcome this?
Take care guys...
