"Supposing a tree fell down, Pooh, when we were underneath it?" said Piglet.
"Supposing it didn't," said Pooh after careful thought.

GO FOR IT!!!!
You may find it might help you take your mind off the symptoms....lately I have felt on the verge of a PA at work quite a few times but I try to keep myself busy at work and it REALLY helps
What have u got to lose? xxxxx
'To the world, you may be one person, but to one person, you may be the world'.
Jools, if you get a panic whilst at work,
just say to your self "dont think about the past and dont think about the future just think for the moment",
as you breath in that is the moment, as you breath out that is also a moment.........as each breath is gone - that moment has gone.
Doing this will help you learn to think for the moment and dont allow any thoughts to come into your head about past or future.
Ive been doing this and WOW ITS REALLY HELPFULL, THIS IS CALLED MINDFULNESS which you will need to practise daily to get good results.

Hi joolsukuk
I work in a shop and have panic attacks but have started to not only keep busy but when I feel a wave of panic I think to myself- drop your shoulderse - relax - it cant hurt you - it cant hurt you - all is fine - you are ok ..... and eventually the wave crashes over me and I feel a bit better to hang on in there - YOU CAN DO IT - I know you can. Good luck. Love wenjoy x
thank you all again for you words of encouragement its nearly midnight now so going to try to sleep will let you know how it goes tomorrow..wish me luck (feel sick) lol

Hi Jools,
Good luck for tomorrow, i'm sure you'll be great!!! I work in a pub where i feel safe, but sometimes i have moments where i feel dizzy and unreal, but after a minute or two they pass, because i keep myself busy even if its washing glasses or something else just as boring.
You'll be fine. Take care

meant to be leaving having major anxiety dont what to do !!!!!!!!!

Hi Jools
Try not to think about work just break it down, think about just going out of the house, just actually getting there, seeing how it goes for 10 minutes, etc.
You can turn back at any time but just see if you can get there hun?
The very best of luck YOU CAN DO IT!!!
And remember there are loads of other people out there feeling just the same!! Maybe even your boss or someone you will work with - you never know there's a lot of us!!

Hi Jools,
I'm leaving for work in a few mins, and as usual i feel sick and wonder if i'll get there or not, but every day i make myself walk out the door and get to work. I don't dwell on geting there i just think about other little things, like what shall i do for tea or what can i watch on tv tonight, and before i know it i'm at work. I know its easier said than done, but all you can do is just try, i hope you can. Very good luck.
I shall be thinking of you today.
Marie XXXX
Yes Marie Ross that's really good advice!
I used to literally chant "I'll be fine when I get there" over and over and I always was!!!
Good luck to you both - I go back to work in about 2 weeks and will be going through this too!!!
Loads of love xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Jools,
Really glad you made it to work, i really am. it would'nt hurt to tell someone how you really feel (it took me months of feeling anxious and sick and when i did it, the relief was brilliant i can tell you) Instead of feeling so awful when i felt a wave of anxiety and felt dizzy and unreal, instead of coping and feeling rubbish i would tell someone who i worked with that i was feeling a bit 'funny' (they knew how i felt) they would cover for me for a few minutes until i felt better(ish)!!!
Hopw this helps and that everyone is as understanding as my work pals are, i'm sure they will be, you would be in the same situation.
Good luck tomorrow, really (oh , and thanks for not shouting anymore!!!!!)
PS. Fee, good luck to you as well!!!
Marie XXXX
hi all me again didnt need to go to work today until thusday im glad cos woke up feeling sick as usual heart feels like its thumping but its not (if you know what i mean that sounds crazy dont it!) im hoping i feel this rough cos of meds (prozac) but on day 13 of it now and still feel bad is that normal???? when i was on seroxat im sure it wasnt this bad (but that was a while ago now ) anyhoo thamks all for your replies they really really do help.xx
jools xx
Hi Jules
Can't advise on the meds as I haven't tried them but I know that all these IBS-type symptoms of nausea etc are really really common when you are anxious and will probably improve as you regain your confidence by going to work...
I hope you have lots of other things to do and that it all settles down for Thursday xxx
Lucy - it's excellent that you have got this job and I bet it will do wonders for your progress once the first day is over! Is Saturday your first day? Is it tomorrow you have some training? That should help... Will be thinking of you xxxx

im really pleased for you to be working again and off meds im sure you will be fine. i was off meds for over a year but had some problems at home with kids and it bought my panics back then struggled with them for 6 months before giving up and going back on meds but i think i might have gone for the job to soon and should wait till meds kick in. But GOODLUCK on saturday i will be thinking of you let me know how it goes xxxx
