Hi there, just found this forum and grabbing the bull by the horns as it were, and thought I would register and say hello :). Also forgive me, I'll try not to make any spelling mistakes but I'm quite on edge as I type and my concentration is a bit off :blush:
My name is Emma, I'm 28 and live in NE England, with my long term partner and our beautiful 3 year old girl.
I had my first panic attack in 2001, which still haunts me to this day. I honestly thought I was dead and being pulled up towards heaven, strange when I'm not even particularly religious!
Since then I have probably only had maybe 4 or 5 full-blown attacks, this is probably more to do with the fact I learned some distraction techniques and I know now how to "pull myself out of it", if you understand me?
The general anxiety however is with me a lot of the time, and there are certain situations and places I will avoid :blush:
I have never sought out any medical advice and the reason I've joined up here today was for some support and advice, and to chat with you all, as you can see I can chat for England! :roflmao:I very nearly had an attack on the way to pick up my daughter from nursery on Monday and that has got me thinking I have to do something about this, as I couldn't face taking her there this morning, and that is completely not fair on her and I feel so guilty.:blush: I took her OK yesterday but felt so so anxious, and my nerves seem to be worse today, I just couldn't face it. :blush:I feel absolutely dreadful about it.
Ok that will do for now, thanks for reading my rambling post and look forward to chatting with you all :hugs:
