New here

[Josx]

Hello,

I'm new on the board (well, been reading posts since May). I suffer from HA and just started having panic attacks (realised trough my councelling that i have had various PA in the last 10 years).
I have 2 small children and wonderful husband, but life is not easy as we have no family help or support. We live in London and find pace of life a bit too much at the moment which in return does nothing good for my issues.
My HA is mostly fear of cancer and dying, leaving my lovely little family.
I was doing ok after 3 months of couneclling, thought things started to look up, but last few weeks has been a bit of downwards spiral and think resulted in me having a massive PA on Wed pm when i least expected me. This has left me shaken and with bruised feeling, and since than i have been feeling terrible.
Thanks for reading folks.
Jos

hi josx , i can relate to what you are saying, i also have no family support at all, im a single parent to 3 lovely kids , who are young. I think the lack of support has to be one of the hardest things.
Ive also had a fear of dying and having cancer or a brain tumour, i had an mri scan a couple of years ago and was relieved that it came back normal but still felt i was back at the old drawing board as to why i was feeling so dreadful.
My symptoms are mostly lightheadedness, dizziness, vertigo, anxiety. ive had panic attacks on and off for years.
And like you i felt like i was improving through counselling , but that finished quite a long time ago and i feel like im slipping back a few paces sometimes, im ok some days and other days i feel like im back at square 1
I know how you must feel, and the people on here are so lovely and supportive (im fairly new on here too) and i never realised there are so many other people with similar problems , you can feel so isolated with it all at times, which is why this is such a brilliant place to share how you are feeling, hope you feel better soon xxx
