Hello all

I found this site while looking on the net, and it looks really good and helpful, so thought I would join.
I have had anxiety problems in the past but have been OK for years. In the last 18 months have had a couple of bereavements in the family and some other problems and I was so pleased that I coped with everything well and did what I needed to do and was able to support everyone around me, then last week I woke up in the night with a pounding heart and an absolute feeling of dread. Had one panic attack after the other all night. It was awful. Went to the GP yesterday, she have given me some Diazepam, just for a few days. I am still shaking like a leaf and feel awful. I have not confided in my family, how I feel, I cannot tell anyone, which is why I decided to join this site to be able to communicate with people who understand what its like! Don't quite understand about threads and posts etc so hope I have got this right.
Well, take care everyone.
Bye. :)

hi amanda and welcome

Joining here is like starting a new job isn’t it , don’t know anyone and having to find where everything is. Your new ’work colleagues’ are a very nice bunch though. :)

Hi Amanda,

Welcome to the forum.

I can relate to your post, after coping what I thought was very well with various family 'crises' in shortish space of time that coping ability left me earlier this year.

I found this web site, realised I was not alone and over the last few months gradually admitted how I feel to myself and other people and got the help I needed and now feel lots better, fingers crossed!

Hope things work out better for you soon too. X
