Re: anxeity/panic attacts & missed heart beats! advice plz
Honey
I would just like to say you really are fantastic what you are doing & the job you have taken on......you should be very proud of yourself.
I don't know what it must be like everyday taking on that adult role and caring for your family at such a young age when you should be out living your youth....
I personally think that you are suffering stress & exhaustion hun & when i am shattered i get the palps & panic attacks & my anxiety hits the roof. Our body can take a lot but after a while... it gets tired & it starts crying out to take a break and rest.... which is what your body is doing.
There are sooo many ways our bodies default & anxiety is one of them & the fact you are not sleeping makes everything ten times worse.
I know the situation you are in limits what you can do but the main thing you need to bear in mind is you need to rest too & take time out for yourself. If this means going out with friends or simply having an evening in and going to bed early then i think thats what you need to do & i am sure your family would understand.
I hope you have lots of support outside of your immediate family xxxx
