I have been suffering from panic attacks for about 4 weeks now but I haven't left the house since wednesday, well actually I got dressed and went to the shops this morning but never again, i felt ill, my heart was racing so fast and I just got what i had to get and ran home.

:welcome:Hazel. Sorry you are having panic attacks and agoraphobia too by the sounds of it.There is a brilliant book by Dr Claire Weekes;SELF HELP FOR YOUR NERVES ISBN 0-7225-3155-9.This is available from the NMP shop. Dr Weekes was a fellow sufferer who really understood this illness. She took the mystery out of it, and devised a simple programme for recovery. I can't recommend this enough. This will get better.

Hi Everyone

I went to the doctor and she gave me Mirtazapine 15mg plus referred me to the Community Mental Health team as my problems all relate to my 5 yr old and him being very very unwell as a baby. She feels that I need to discuss my problems and learn to deal with them properly.

So just waiting for an appointment.
