Hi From another newbie x

[kerrie23]

Hello,
Just joined the site, looking forward to talking with people who understand panic attacks and the feelings you get with them.
I am 23 and have had PA now for 4years, for one of them years I would not leave the house I seemed to be frightened of everything even just falling asleep, I was scared I would not wake up. I started to get a lot better last year with a lot of determination from myself, I kept pushing myself and this did help a lot, I thought I was well on the road to recovery and then in January of this year my beloved dog passed away and what with that and a really stressful time at work I was out one day on my own and had a massive panic attack. Since then I have found it really hard to bounce back, does any one or has any one else had a big set back like this?

It will be great to hear from you :)

Hi kerrie I too have had a set back. My client I was working with died. i am a youth and community worker working in supporting accommodation unit. The last two weeks have been difficult and i've had a run of attacks which I was expecting and had managed them best i can, i haven't had them so bad recently despite the stress. But last night I had a massive attack so I know just what your saying. A set back is such a positive way to look at it it means things can only get better. Thanks for sharing - helped me to get some perspective regards Nicky
