Hi firstly i would like to introduce my self,my name is ashley i am 34 years of age and live in england, i have 2 children and i am currently unable to work due to the aniexty and panic i am suffering,hello to everyone.
It seems strange to me because i can offer so much to any one suffering aniexty,panic and depression - ive suffered with this since i was 15 and have been to all the self help, and relaxtion classes , ive tried the tablets and acupunture , i have been there and done it with it all- if you suffer i'm there for you... i can help you and give you all the information... SO PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME why cant i help myself, why cant i listen to the advice i give others, im so scared of everything..I do belive that people that suffer with this do live a easy going life,of course i know that myself , however for myself i have had to be in control of it , thats how i lead a normal life, but we take things for granted dont we and stress after stress builds and we are still not checking ourselfs for signs of aniexty and boy before you know it,you are riddled with this nasty nasty soul destroying thing,i know how it feels trust me i cry for anyone who suffers with this.
Things have happened in my life like most people and i may be tuff,or at least seem that way at the time but with me and could be with most anxious people , it lays dormant in your consience and before you know it , its crept up behing you and takes you by surprize and then you wonder why and where did this come from ... and then you think you have a heart problem or a tumaor a disease of some kind.
I gave up smoking 6 weeks ago ,and i dont know how i did it , but i didand ever since then i wake up in the morning like ive smoked a thousand the nite before ,i have been told that this happens to some people that give up(has this ever happened to anyone here by the way---see im checking again) anywayrecently i have been waking up same thing pains in my back, stomach sometimes chest not much ...and then i get scared coz the pains arnt nice ... and from that point i get anxious ,then the panic is coming and before it i'm losing it.. now im scared to go to bed , because i have to wake up in the morning to panic...
Im scared to live and scared to die,im convinced i have something wrong with me.. i suffer from bad palps, sometimes they make me so dizzy, but i did have a ecg last year,i do tell my self that ,and the results were fine.. im so weak everyone and have told myself that the weakness is due to the fact im dying, yes it true im in a state... im confused, and not all here-ive got 2 children and i am totally irratated around them beyhond belive.. im so scared i really am ,,,im going to get help again and get this in control - well im going to try my best ... but in the meanwhile im to scared to go out ,to do anything ... ive got bad headaches ,pains all over ...im a disgrace to my kids... wot am i going to do ..im scared everyone xxxxx ASHLEY

Hi Ashley

Welcome to NMP ! glad you have found us! We all give great advise, its probably because we have a deeper understanding than we realise and I think you will find this is a trait in all of us. We can give it but are rubbish at following it ourselves.

Welldone on the giving up smoking ! I have set my date today and I am intending on following th same route. Stay with it I know it is hard but you seem to have a great understanding and many people will be here for you to offer support and advise


Take care

Welcome Aboard, Ashley.

Can certainly relate to the morning feeling, although I don't dread going to bed, but its funny I've never been that keen on going to bed - I don't want the current one to end lol.

So how do you busy yourself during the day and evening, besides the obvious kids and housework thing?

Do you get enough distraction?

Take Care,



Ray

Hi Ashley

Welcome to the forum. It is true that it is so much easier to give advice to others than it is to take action on the advice ourselves. Even if we know what to do to help ourselves it is taking action that is the difficult bit.

You might find it helpful to read the First Steps (http://www.nomorepanic.co.uk/default.asp?t=cms&c=firststeps) and Symptoms (http://www.nomorepanic.co.uk/default.asp?t=cms&c=symptoms) articles.

Have you had any help from a therapist to deal with these difficulties?

Hi Ashlez,

Zou maz have tried lots of the peripheral things but I don't see CBT listed.

Until zou learn to change how zou view zour bodz symptoms and the thoughts that keep you focussed on them all , there is little chance of huge improvements.

Get Shad Helmstetters book - what to say when you talk to yourself.

Your anxiety is the human representation of the pictures that you paint using your many vivid colours of revolving and reoccurring thoughts.

Welcome to the forum.

I can relate to lots of the things that you have said - I always found that I could put on a front and give good advice to others but couldn't follow it myself!

I hope that you find NMP a supportive place to be and are reassured by thte fact that you aren't alone.

Dear Ashley
I have read your post and feel like I am looking at my own life
I am also off work and am unsure at this point when I will return
I am 32 years old and have a 11 year old son who I am so sorry for him having to see me in this state
I also can offer advise, Have been through all the treatments so why do these feelings happen every day?
I am scared to die yet each day I dread what is ahead! I am today convinced that I m going to loose the feeling in my hands, it was a stroke last week!
The positive is this site seems to be the right place to deal with these feelings and the people on this site appear very supportive - Im so glad I found it!
Please be assured you are not alone and we will all over come this and one day be able to offer our recovery secrets to others
Keep smiling!
Take care
Wendy

Hay thanx all for the warm welcome that i have recieved coming here,everyone is very surportive,sweet and kind--- and why because we all know how we each feel right, i mean no one can truley understand this unless of course u have been through it, felt it tasted it and breathed it. It isnt my mums fault bless her, but when i speak to her about it , although it may be brief,im funny talking to my mum about these things,but if i speak with her she just dosn't seem to understand me, or what im going through ya know, maybe because she hasnt experienced it , maybe its being naive... but then you get my cousin and she has suffered aniexty and panic attacks, and she is so on my level , she dosnt get it quite as bad as me, but she knows she has tasted it... bless her .

You know it can be because of things that have happened in your life ,or stress from work .. who knows anything can spark this thing of... or merely it just comes along on its own without no reason atall,however mostly its because of one or two events that have happened in your life that has been particulay(im a great speller) upsetting-mothers as well out there who have kids that have been stressing you out that can strike it up.. anything.
I have been so bad latley , i do feel so weak and tired of it all.
My cousins husband came over yesterday and put some aculpunture pins in my ears lets see it they will help, but i do have to go tomorrow to inlist in all the relaxation classes and sign myself in at the mental clinic hahaha,just a little joke of mine... i have to try and make myself better and dont get me wrong i just want to give up, because im fed up with fighting, but i have to because of my kids.
I just want to be free of all of this like we all do on here, im scared.
You are allsolovley on here and please remember i am suffering but please come chat with me when ever you want , i have experience of this from little and can advise people , also i find when i concentrate on someone elses problems,fears and concerns i'm not watching myself-- so you will be helping me too.

love to you all
