Hi Leanne,

I haven't suffered from sickness, but I can sympathise. I know what its like to have the panic attacks, especially, when facing a crowded room.

Have you any help with this? Are you on meds etc?

I cant really advise on the sickness, apart from deep breathing.

Hope you feel better soon

Feel free to PM me, if you want to talk.

Keep focused, keep positive.

Hi Leanne,
So sorry you are feeling so awful, know exactly what you are going through, as will everyone on this site. Try not to feel too embarrassed about leaving the surgery and being sick, it is bad that no-one offered to help, but as you say, maybe at the time that was better for you? I don't actually get sick, but can relate to everything else you say. It is a long hard fight, but you can do it, don't give up, as you say, you have a good husband and kids, who adore you,read all the information that's here and keep in touch, others will be able to offer more advice, just wanted to let you know you are not alone in this xxx

Hi Leanne

Welcome , sorry you've had such a rotton morning..

I've been there with he sickness bit - carried zip lok bags everywhere with me as when the churniness got too much that came next. I did find eventually that it you catch it early enough and started burping, the being sick bit was averted.

What sort of help have you had so far with this disorder as there is lots of help and ways through this..

Hi Leanne

I too had to go to the doctors the other day, and was in the same dilemma as you, fortunately, I dont get the sickness anymore, I stopped that a few years ago, But I know what you mean about those crowded rooms, I have to either find a quiet area or I tend to make my appointments for the crack of dawn before the others arrive, its like being at a chimps tea party and all I want to do is run.

You did really well to stay there, not matter how difficult it was and dont worry about other people.


Think of your family they would have been proud of you for at least being there.

Good luck and a big hug



Sue

Hi Leanne

Welcome to the forum. I have social phobia and have been in the same situation of panicking in the surgery because of the number of people there.

Are you receiving any help with this?

It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.

Hi leanne,

I know exactly where your coming from, I had the same experience a few months ago at the dentist, which resulted in me laying on the waiting room floor and then sitting outside being sick in the flower beds!! Luckily I had my dad with me.

I felt stupid at the time too...its only natural. But dont beat yourself up about it - I suffer depression/anxitey/panic and I can honestly say that things WILL get better. Its hard to think that it will when your feeling how you are at the moment. I still have bad days but the good ones outweigh the bad.

I find it hard going to the doctors too, and i dread pulling up and seeing that their busy, but im learning to deal with it.

Have you explained fully everything to your GP? Im being referd by mine for anxiety managment...have they ever discussed anything like this with you? And are you on any meds?

Take care - If you ever wanna PM me feel free.

Hi Leanne,

Sorry to hear you are having such a bad time. I also really do sympathise as i get exactly the same. My doctors surgery became such a problem for me, my doctor agreed to me having telephone appts for a while, which has helped take some pressure off.
Are you on any meds? Or receiving any help?

Take care, and don't give up - it will become easier.
