Hi everyone. I am 32 yrs old, married and have a 6 yr old son. I have suffered with anxiety and panic for 15 years on and off. Recently it has become quite severe and i have symptoms everyday, I feel anxiety is my life and it rules me. I beat it once for a couple of yrs and want to do it again. Symptoms i get are depersonalisation, lightheaded, fidgety, blurry eyes. So scary, got pills here but am confident I can do this without them, starting CBT next week. If anyone suffers the same would be great for some reassurance I am not alone.:blush:

:hugs:Thanks for the replies so far - lora, it is nice to know that there is someone on here local to me, sometimes you just feel like you suffer alone
Hey Kate,
I'm new on here too, found this site out of desperation! I'm from Newark not too far from lincoln. Your not alone hun. I started having panick attacks about 15 years ago too and suffered for a long long time! About 4 years ago i noticed they were happening less and less and then i didn't have one for about 2-3 years but have started again recently very severe, almost every day. The doc has gave me 2mg diazapam to take twice a day for 3 weeks, they are helping but don't want to be taking these long term. I sat down yesterday and thought i have got to take controle over this and i wrote down a sort of mind map of anything thats been stressful, traumatic, worrying, upsetting, made me feel down about myself in the past year, it may sound silly but i think i have pin pointed what has caused it to happen again. and i feel more possitive about getting through it, i am going the docs to ask for councelling to deal with the issues i have came up with. Give it a try its worked for me. Good luck! x

So lovely to hear from people, makes me feel better inside knowing that I am not alone. I feel this site will help me so much along my journey. I have started thinking more positive already and hopefully this is a start of things to come.:D:)
Hi Lincolnkate, welcome you are by no means alone. there is always someone on here to talk to. i only joined yesterday and have made a few friends already.
Hi Kate,
you certainly aren't alone. I'm from Lincoln too and recently finished a course of CBT. I found it very helpful and it's boosted my confidence a huge amount. It's certainly not an instant cure but at least it's given me the skills I need to keep going and keep improving. I have been looking to see if there's a local group where people can share experiences but there's nothing in Lincoln that I can find.
I would be very interested to hear how your CBT goes - I really hope it does the same for you that it did for me.
Cheers,
Tony
