That uneasy feeling I have leaved with on and off from age 22 I'm now 35. I seen a counselor he recommend paxil he said I had general anxiety. So I saw my family dr. After a short visit I was prescribed paxil 20 mg daily. The paxil has been increased to 60mg. The paxil gives does help but not enough. After seeing several counselors I was diagnosed with depression, PTSD, anxiety, also I may have a cancer phobia, my counselor is working on that now. But any way I have read several books listened to audio books, I have also started on the Midwest program. I'm better than I was but I can't enjoy life to it's fullest....

iv only just registered with this site, i need to speak about what im currently experiencing, im only 21 years old and have been having severe panic attacks since i was 18, i believe it all started when i messed around with drugs with my friends at parties i couldnt handle them simple as that, it should have just been a one off attack, but they kept continuing. they eased a bit at 20...i got pregnant with my son, but after i had him...im constantly anxious now scared of dying, scared of leaving my son motherless, they are my main concerns. i cant go out like a normal 21 year old and enjoy a few drinks with my friends i hav'nt taken any drugs since i was 19, so i find it unfair that i cant go out after looking after my son all week and let my hair down...because i truly believe i am going to die and i struggle to look after my son then...i believe i put to much on myself to be the perfect mum and i dont think this helps...can someone please offer me some advice on how to manage these attacks whilst living my life to the full...its making me depressed. thank u...polly
