...and maybe help some others....
I used to frequent this board and found it a great help in understanding the problems I had with anxiety and panic attacks. About a year ago I decided to get some counselling which lasted a few weeks but above all I decided I was going to help myself......
At my lowest I had difficulties going into a shop, driving my car or going to work. My family were suffering and if there was one defining point, it had to be when my two eldest children (9 and 11 years old) complained that 'daddy didn't go out anymore'. To be honest, I can't pinpoint exactly what 'cured' me but it most definately has to be the rationalisation of the situation I found myself in. Now, I am back to where I was a few years ago and enjoing life to it's full.
I'm not here to gloat or to patronise but I do want to tell others that it can be done and if needed I would be more than happy to help.
If anyone would like to contact me then please do via Email.
