I am a Police Officer and you can imagine what problems persistant panic has caused for me throughout the last 7 or 8 yrs
I eventualy plucked up courage and spoke to a good friend of mine who just happens to be the head of welfare (in fact she is the welfare dept for my force)
She suggested CBT for me and even better convinced my bosses to pay for 10 sessions
So far (early days) things have staerted to improve for me and I now have some very good tools to help ME MANAGE my anxiety rather than letting my anxiety MANAGE me
The message i need to give people is that You must never be afraid to talk about your anxiety I just wish that I had done so years ago
PS this forum must be getting some acclaim because my therapist recommended it as being one of the best possible - I agree with her wholeheartedly
