Hello everyone

[Del1970]

Hello my names Adele (Del)
I have suffered panic/anxiety attacks on and off for around 19yrs, well, since having children! and I have 5 of them:ohmy: My eldest is nearly 20, next is 18, then 17 and 15 and we have our baby that was a shock to my system after two lots of treatment for cancer (Hodgkinsons Lymphoma) we thought I would be sterile and also my husband had a vasectomy 15yrs ago! so what I thought was most likely my menopause is now my 1yr old son! *
My dad passed away before my pregnancy was confirmed and then we have all the usual teenage problems to deal with as well as the new baby and then my mum passed away in July (I still have'nt cried for her yet because we still expect her to ring or call in) so my doctor thinks this recent spell of anxiety/panic has been caused by all the things that have happened over the last 2yrs. I started Propranolol on monday and they do calm me but I find it hard to function an hour after taking them because i'm so tired/spaced out with them.

Thats enough of me for now but i'm glad I have found a place to talk about side effects or anxiety.*

Thanks for taking the time to read.

Hi Del
You've had a lot to deal with in a short space of time! My first panic attacks began after my daughter was born six years ago but came back recently. I lost my dad at Xmas and my mum in June so I can appreciate the feeling that they're going to knock on the door or give you a call - it's enough to cope with without a baby and teenagers. You must have more energy than me :)

I'm a newbie too and I hope you find comfort here x

Awwwe, thankyou so much for the warm welcomes,
I am so happy that I have a found a place where people have had the same feelings and experiences with panic/anxiety and other things because its sometimes hard to explain to people that have never suffered them just what it feels like, I think because we look ok others think we must be ok.

Again thasnks so much for the welcomes
Del
