hi , i'm 35, married and mother of one (11 yr old son). i've always been anxious and prone to p/attacks for as long as i can remember . i think its because i moved a lot in my early years , by the time iwas 7 i had been to 3 different primary schools and moved 5 times . it really kicked in when iwas in my early 20's . lots of things changed all at once(yr 2000) i left work to bring up my beautiful son , we moved , my husband got made redundant my parents moved,had family problems come to a head, then my gran died very unexpectedly. i suffered deppression and anxiety . i was put on antideppressents but iwas allergic to them (and was'nt happy been on them anyway) then i had counselling and then cbt. cbt was by far the best for me. i have been a lot better until this year and have had to have cbt again , i've also bought loads of self help books and this is how i found this site, the books are really helping . i tend to have panic attacks when i am travelling,or in a crowded place or last thing at night . i also have a phobia of vomit . my self esteem is very low and i am very negetive about myself i am very open about it all which has led to people saying nasty things to me which ar'nt helpful . i am well on the road to recovery though , and hope this site helps me or i can help someone xx
