hi all,
ive been suffering major panic attacks for the past two months.
The meds seem to be doing their job im alot happier and at some times of the day i feel back to my old self.
But when anxiety hit home i still get quite ill...i can manage to cope with the attacks alot better now even though im scared to death when it comes. i really go into my shell its horrible, im like a diffrent or that person again. However now i still go out and about and im doing alot more regular things i even started back at the gym. but everything involves forward planning so i can cope, which is really annoying but hey... and if im not expecting somthing to happen or someone turns up out of the blue things flare up again.
i was thinking of goin back to work next month which gives me a extra month of feeling better as im sick of being at home and think if i dont bite the bullet ill always feel like this.
i also start my cbt in jan for 5 hours a week.
work have agreed a fased back to work and im only doing half days to start.
my councler has advsied me to chill out as initally i was a real mess and overdoing it in the hope to try and get better. I have found the more i chill out the better ive been feelin.
any help advice would be appricated ...
