i was hoping i could help others by answering some of there problems. ive been getting better and better for the last six months now. my panic attacks could last all day in the past and the first thing i thought of everyday when i woke up is "when" will it happen and by the time i had got downstairs with the kids screaming i would start, but no more ive cant remember being this happy for years

i dont know if any of you have tried this but it sure works for me without fail
if you feel a panic attack coming on try your not going to belive this
2 bananas and half a pint of milk
it works for me everytime and i know have panic free days
its how i start my day
shopping aint a problem no more, im flying to Ireland tomorrow with my son who is playing rugby in Ballymena and for the first time in years im not worried about it
give it a go you never know it might just work for you
P.S if anyone from fyffes is reading this i want a share of the profit !!!!!!!

Paul you sound so good.....good on yer. Im going to give the banana and milk a go, thankyou for sharing it with us. Hope you and your son have fun in Ireland take care from mary
mary i would never have belived it would work but know i swear by it
take this morning woke up feeling a bit rough (think im getting a cold) normally that would have been enoughh to set off an attack. but today nothing been into town done a bit of shopping and feel great:D
roll out the guiness paul is about to hit Ireland fine style[8D]

I'm not suprised at all . Protein and complex carbs.Brilliant start to the day . Some peoples anxiety stems from a swinging sugar level.
Its worth eating little and often when you're acute anyway as panic takes up so much ready energy and puts additional stress on your endocrine system.
I don't go anywhere without a bag of dried fruit and nuts and ensure I eat regularly even just a handful makes all the difference if this is one of your issues. Simple sugars are worth avoiding as they just add to the problem.

Thanks Paul and Meg, you've just explained my obsession for bananas! I take three with me whenever I leave the house. If I forget, I am unreasonably annoyed. If my cleaner eats one of my bananas, I am unreasonably angry (I don't mind if she eats any other fruit.)
Thank God we've found something to help us that's neither addictive nor harmful.
Cheers...Bryn
Oh lucky thing going to wonderful Ireland. Didnt get a chance to try the banana drink today but will have a go tomorrow.... mind you the guiness sounds better ha ha.Take care from mary

Hi Paul! Welcome aboard sir, hope you are getting loads of advice and tips from her, as everyone does. Isn't it great to know that you are not on your own or going mad? Lots of people think I am mad too - but not in the mental illness sense of the word.
Anyone who can't eat bananas for some reason or like me who has to watch the carb content can get the same effect from a boiled egg and wholemeal toast for breakfast or a bowl of porridge at any time to stave of the blood glucose fluctuations.
Great sense of humour - love it! Keep posting.

Hi yer Paul, only Mary here. Just a quick note to say hope you are well and have had a great weekend, how was the guiness? Take care from Mary
MORNING TROOPS
how are we all??????
well the weekend was great thanks, the boys did not win anything apart from a load of new friends but thats all that matters
i did have a panic attack and it was one from the depths of hell[}:)]
now i know i had far to much to drink over the weekend so i only have myself to blame but yesterday (sun) we flew back, i woke up and felt fine but that didnt last
on the mini bus to the airport i could start to feel myself tensing up and knew what was going to happen, i was up late had no brerakfast and nothing to drink. by the time i had got in the airport it was well on its way.the flight home was awful could not wait for the plane to land and get to my car
i had given one of the other dads and his son a lift to the airport just as we entered the terminal at Stanstead the little boy turned round to his dad and said "dad ive left my passport on the plane" i could have screamed the attack was getting worse by the second and it took the airline 2HOURS to get the passport back
i then had a 90 minute drive back to Norwich and all i wanted to do was get home and feel safe
so thanks easyjet for making yesterday i will never forget
ok rant over lets all get back to work" there is nothing to see here" " please move on"

oh paul, you do make me laugh, im sitting here reading about your weekend stuffing myself spitting out crumbs........oh bless you, you sound like you had a right old time with the plane, passports and panics.... but you did it, keep us smiling take care from mary
hi me or is it you???
god now i do feel crazy like im talking to myself !!!!
ive got a handy vac that gets rid of all the crumbs from betweeen your keys on your keyboard so spit away girl and give us a shout if you want to borrow it
i could have throttled the little #%@^*(*&^$%^^^&&^^%^&&
but yes its funny looking back now
the lady behind me in boots at the airport must have thought she was stood next to a real nutter as i queued to get some milk to drink i must have left the queue and rejoined 7 times before i finally got round to paying for it
i was just going to walk out with it at one point but a rather large police man with an even bigger gun was stood right outside
keep it sane folks

Dear Paul,
No Fyffes in ROI ?
Even though I consider myself recovered, I never leave home without a nut and dried fruit mix. It's saved a many an hour.
We all do things we know will not be helpful tomorrow. It then becomes a damage limitation exercise and resolutions to take better care next time - until the next time !
Hope you're feeling fine again now .

Hi, Paul,
I don't know if you have come across the chatroom yet but you sound a really cheery bloke and we like a laugh, most people tend to get there after 9pm although its open all day.:)
lyn

nice to meet you

Yes they would work Paul. Keep to the natural ones so you're not overloading with fats and salt.
Meg
Hi Paul,glad to see you have got over the nasty attack ok,
think your sense of humour would get you through most things
good on yer
kiz
paul youve done it again ....ive just spat out my drink with laughing so much i think its great you can laugh about all this stuff you sound like a great person thanks again for cheering me up take care from mary
bugger me ,me theres that echo again
if we didnt laugh we would all be in the looney bin and belive me i dont look good in a straight jacket i find the clips chafe:D
but seriously part of our problem is we take on board far to much sit down worry about it then get ourselves in a right old 2 and 8
i tried to have a panic attack this lunch time but i was far to busy so ive told it to re-book another appointment at a later date and ill see if i can fit one in (little does he know while his gone im going to move) see if he can find me then !!!!!
remember a chuckle a day keeps the panic away

ok big decision save all the bottles of beer or save my blushes[:I]
