Hi everyone,
I am new to this site and so glad that i have found it. It really helps me to realise i'm not alone in this evil mind game of anxiety.
I have suffered anxiety related problems for over 15 years now, it started with a fear of ghosts and the spirit world, then went on to manifest in a fear of something happening to one of my children and for the past 10 years it has all been about my health. If i wrote everything ive been through with it id be here writing for at least a week ! So i'll just stick to the basics..........Most of the time i have a real fear of having a heart attack and dying. I have the most unusual sensations in my chest, incl palpitations, thudding, fluttering amongst other things just as i think i'm learning to ignore one symptom, another one will come smack me in the face and bring me back with a bump. My whole life revolves around it i wont go anywhere if there isnt a hospital nearby, i cant go out with friends for a social drink because alcohol makes me worse, i cant go abroad on holiday incase im taken ill while im there the list is endless. Im waiting for cbt been waitin 4 months for appt so far and still waiting. Im thinkin of trying hypnotherapy, has anyone else tried this ? My parents both have cancer, my dad has lung cancer and my mum pancreatic cancer both are terminal and my mum is in a hospice as she very weak now. As im sure you all can imagine this is really having an affect on me and my anxiety and panic attacks, im desperately tryin to hold it together at this difficult time but panic keeps rising in my belly and its so hard to control.
Finding this site has been a god send for me and has really kept me sane amidst all this.:)
