Hi

[feels like prison]

My name is Randy and I am 39 yrs old who has suffered from anxiety/panic attacks for over 27 yrs. I am just looking for someone to chat with about these horrible episodes. The first time I experienced this is when I was just 12 yrs old and it came out of nowhere and has plagued me ever since. No one who knows me knows that I have suffered from A/P attacks, I've kept it secret all these years except those that are closest to me. I have been put on all kinds of anti depressants which have never worked for me.

Lately I have been going through some of the most hardest times of my life and the anxiety/panic attacks are crashing on me like waves in the ocean. I'm getting tired of fighting and just want these to end. When I was at the Dr's yesterday he prayed for me in his office. I just feel so alone inside and need someone to help me out of this place.

Thank you and take care

:welcome:to NMP Randy. 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 physician and scientist. She was a fellow sufferer (nominated for the nobel prize for medicine) and 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.Glad that you have found us.
