I had been suffering severe panic attacks which has left me pretty much not wanting to leave the house, lots of depersonalization, restlessness, sleepless nights, constant worrying about my health and so on.
The last week I have felt a little more calm. I'm taking some propanalol been on them for about 3 weeks now which seems to have cut back on some of the worst chest and panic problem. I feel less worried about myself and I am no longer thinking about anxiety 24/7. At worst I went a few days totally full of anxiety. I managed to go out and suffered mild depersonalization took a few deep breaths and let it pass. I don't feel like going into town yet but I am now saying to myself next week and maybe try another walk.
I am getting better sleep and able to eat without anxiety now. I had a stressful period where I failed my driving test. It was the second time I remember most which really set me back. A positive is I failed the third but never felt any worse..I have a 4th try next month but not sure how I will feel yet. I am kind of getting bored with the anxiety as it does, for months I suffered extreme OCD and it moved onto this, first time I've had physical symptoms bad for a year and a half.
Feels like a chapter in my life as it was so intense..probably up there with my top 3 anxiety attacks that can last months. I'm not fully better but I hope this is me moving on now? I feel I'm slowly getting better and focusing less on it. I felt I was really going through it myself but I am hoping this is the worst part over and in the next few weeks I can start going out and about again? I can only manage work at the moment.
