I stumbled accross No More Panic just before Christmas when I was serching out tips and advice on Panic, over the festive season I have found all of the posts a great source of help and comfort.
I have just logged on now as all the feelings of a panic attack have started and I'm trying to not give in...so now's as good a time as any to intoduce myself...
I'm 24 years old and have suffered with panic attacks since I was little - i remember my first when I was ten years old. In my late teens I battled with depresion. I have spent long periods of time on Seroxat and Beta blockers; I've had Cognitive therapy, tried relaxation and am now about to embark on Phsyco Therapy - I'm desperate not go go back on the drugs.
I find resisting and controling panic attacks in work/ day to day life so hard and very tiring. My relationship suffers, my career and my general enjoyment in life.
It's comforting to know there are other people out there who have irrational thoughts, racing pulses, who run around jumping and screaming, feel sick, can't sleep.....etc.
I managed Xmas w/o an attack but it's back to work tomorrow which is what I suspect has triggered this attack.
Just typing this has made me feel better. That's me in a nutshell. Thanks for reading.[:I]
