Hi,
as you wil see from previous post i had a panic attack out of the blue 5 weeks ago after being well for 5 years, anyway after the initial heightenend anxiety that it had all come back and i wouldnt be able to cope with anything and my life was ruined, (when i was calm i realised this wasnt true) things are picking up, gone from not sleeping to being able to get to sleep, had my first lie in this morning, usually up at 6 ! appietite slowly coming back, realise i CAN cope with things and the dreaded depression is not on its way back, not having panics everytime i go to do something i usually found normal, shopping, gym, housework, No tears at work, etc... i still am quite anxious about the day ahead, just something tapping at the back of my mind, "will it come back, will everything be horrible again" i cant relax in my own company, i feel all my confidence in myself has been shot. When will i feel comfortable with myself again and relax back into daily life and when will this underlying fear go? that something terrible has happened. I have started counselling, and gp recommended i double my dose of sertraline to get me through, been on 50mg for five years. i havent double, do i need to am i working this out myself? is it just a blip. Lots and questions Sorry lol, just looking for reassurance again !!! thanks lynne
