hi guys,
my name is richard i'm 34 and used to be healthy up untill 6 months ago heres my story........
i split with my girlfriend of ten years about a year ago and left my two young girls behind and rented a house with my friend we started going out every saturday drinking beer and trying to get over my split. after about 2-3 months of going out getting drunk every saturday i noticed my hangovers where getting really bad!! then it happend one sunday after a drinking session the night before, i went to tesco on the way there my hands started going numb then my heart was going so fast i could hardly drive my car! i got there and just walked straight to the toilet nearly fainting on the way i got to the toilet and sat there sweating, heart beating so fast and feeling faint i really thought i was going to die!!! i managed to get myself to a walking center where i was checked by the doctor "yes mr heathcote you have had a anxiety attack" he calmed me down and sent me home.
i had about 8 more attacks only the day after drinking and never had them thru the week so i stoped drinking so much just had the odd pint or two and was fine no more anxiety attacks.
then i got laid of work i thought i was ok but then in december i started getting muscle twitches but loads of them then the blurred vision came then a couple of days later the tingling and head pain then my eyes felt like they where being sqeezed some days i thought i was dying or i felt that ill i would sooner be dead!!! if i looked at the tv and then looked at the wall the tv would be on the wall my vision just went strange like differant colours everywhere and i couldnt concentrate on nothing! i even had blood vessels burst in my eyes. in the end i went doctors told him my symptoms and he said i had GAD and gave me some beta blockers!
i still have symptoms some days i feel ok some days i feel realy ill and i struggle with coming to terms with anxiety and i'm allways looking at other things it could be! the last week i have been getting clicking in all my joints and neck so i have been looking it up and now have lymes!!
i'm going to try my hardest to beat this. and sorry for the long post but i feel great now i have that off my chest.
love and peace
rich
