Hi and help

[Glyndwr]

Hi everyone. I've joined because of my partner. 5 weeks ago he suffered a panic attack and has struggled ever since. last night he told me the real reason for his anxiety is a fear of dying, and that he won't remember anything and the things he has done...

He says he doesn't see the point of doing anything if that's the case.

He's constantly scared.

thanks.

:welcome:to NMP. You will both find comfort and support here.Thoughts become feelings very quickly with this illness as our nerves are so sensitised. It is fear which keeps this cycle going. There is a brilliant book by Dr Claire Weekes;SELF HELP FOR YOUR NERVES published by Thorsens ISBN 0-7225-3155-9.This is available from the NMP shop. Dr Weekes was a physician and scientist. She was a fellow sufferer (nominated for the nobel prize for medicine) and really understood this illness. She took the mystery out of it, and devised a simple programme for recovery. I can't recommend this enough.( It is a bit old fashioned, but still so relevant).

Here is a link to her site;

This will get better. Vx
