New to NMP

[Shelz77]

Hello Everyone, just wanted to introduce myself and give a little background information. I have finally joined NMP after browsing site on and off for a while now. I suffer from constant anxiety and panic attacks, first attack being three years ago. This is my second time on medication and I'm not dealing with it very well. Depression is trying to set in and Ive had a lot of side effects ranging from multiple panic attacks, constant shakes, headaches, nausea etc etc. In my town there is no support for anxiety sufferers which makes me feel all alone sometimes. My partner doesn't understand and makes me more anxious with his "just get over it" comments. I'm slowly trying to educate him but its definitely hard. I have no clue as to what exactly set this all off. Like many, my life has had a lot of ups and downs. I have lost faith in a lot of things, including doctors as was prescribed medication a few months ago and ended up close to dying from an allergic reaction. My whole world just seems to be falling apart :weep:

Hi Trababe, thank you for the reply. Yes it is very hard. I try to be open about my anxiety but with some peoples comments and judgement it just makes me feel worse. I know its going to be a long journey to recovery but at the moment just can't seem to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I hope you are doing well on your journey......:hugs:
