Hi everyone my name is Sharon, i'm 41, i'm new to this, it's taken me days and days to work out how to find this introduce myself page (hehe).
I have suffered for years with anxiety, panic, and the last 7 years have suffered ocd :(, i was a long time out of work because of all these problems but last year decided that my life had become so bad i had to get out so i just jumped into the first job i could, it's shop work, not particularly hard but stressful for me because of my problems.
I am now in a very bad way as i am suffering from very bad chest pains all the time, constantly they feel like crushing pains and i'm terrifird i'm having a heart attack, i have had the pains for the past 8 months at least, have no idea what's causing them, everyone is telling me i'm not having a heart attack because i have had the pains too long for them to be serious, but as i am sure you will all understand that means jack to me, any pain in the chest to me is a heart attack and my life is becoming so badly affected by it that i am on the verge of having to give up my job again :( something i desperatly want to avoid as i have made new friends and have a reason to get up in the morning, any advice, words........anything really would be lovely.
