Hiya everyone,

I was reading an article in the Daily Mail about a lady (Nicola Pinney) who had suffered with Panic Attacks and realised she had her own web site so here I am!

I have had Panic Attacks from 2002 but I think they were there before then I just did not realise it at the time. I now have GAD and it is a ongoing battle!!

Anyway I am glad I have found this site!

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

Hi Shakylady

I am that Nicola - so welcome aboard and I hope that we can help you get back on track and help with the GAD too.

Are there any specific situations etc that trigger it or make it worse?

Yes having to sit in a room with people. Like a doctors surgery or a School assembley. I hate being the centre of attention (everyones eyes on me). I just can not relax at all.

If I go to do something it has to be quick (in and out). I get panicky over lots and lots but mainly being the centre of attention and having to sit still for a period of time, amongst people/crowds.

I also can not eat infront of people or drink through fear of shaking and this fear even includes with my own family!!

I can wake up sometimes just feeling anxious for no reason and my thought process makes this worse. It is like I want to hide away all the time in my safety net of a home. If the door goes or the phone rings when I am feeling like this I just do not answer it.
