Hello to everyone,
I am, as you've guessed, a newbie. I had a breakdown at the age if 16 and have suffered with panic attacks ever since (15 yrs).
I was diagnosed with agoraphobic panic disorder and emetophobia.
I have never been on drugs for treatment and thanks to great friends and family (and a lot of hard work from my brain) I live a relatively panic free life.
My main issue is not the attack itself, but the build up to it where I feel very sick. I have tried hypnotherpy, but I'm not sure how succesful it was.
I see that there are many poeple on this forum who are really struggling to fight this horrible affliction. I wish you all courage and strength and more than that, hope - if I can get to the light at the end of my tunnel, you can too!!!
