Hi Everyone, just wanted to say what a fantastic site this is. It has helped me enormously over the last three months when I have been suffering really bad anxiety/panic attacks.

I have suffered with anxiety for over 20 years, but self helped and was doing okay, until I lost my dad suddenly last year. The last three months have been hell and I couldn't even use my self help techniques, so felt even worse. Sat at work now and my head is spinning and I feel so dizzy and shaky and feel like I am going to lose it. Don't want to go home again - only just back at work full time.

Had blood test results yesterday I have a very high iron count and I am slightly worried about this. The Dr is going to do a retest in 3 weeks. Does anyone know what this means and is it serious? Don't want to Google as I will end up paranoid.

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read and I hope to make new friends on my road to recovery. I have done it once so I am sure I can do it again, especially with the help of this wonderful site.

XXXXX
