Hiya
I have found this forum as I have been having panic attacks really badly since I was about 16 and I am now 50
They sort of went went the kids were little (I have six aged from 28 to 12) but came back about five years ago with a vengence. I had sort of developed a coping mechanism and have managed to talk myself out of them for the last six months but today at work I had the worst one ever. I really thought I was going to die and have spent the whole day in A & E. I am truly fed up of this cos I love my job and hate the thought of these horrid things spoiling it. My collegues excepting my manager are all loads younger than me and I am really worried they will think I am some dippy old lady, dont want to have another one so am looking at some of the self help stuff online
Seems like everyone has similar experiences on here and that helps but my heart goes out to the younger ones its not fair that our mind can control our bodies in such an extreme way.
