Hello -- I just joined today.

I heard about this site from a good friend of mine and decided to join to see if it can somehow help me cope with my anxiety and panic attacks. It often feels so overwhelming. I have the tendency to hold everything in, and I've found out the hard way that this is not the way for me to deal with my issues. I hope this site will be the first step in making some progress and finally being able to relax.

Hi there AMZ, a not so brief outline of my day so far...
Walked round the corner to get a bus to town, legs wbbly, eyes going funny. Waited ages at the bus stop, I want to go back but wont allow myself to do that so paced backwards & forwards trying to calm down. Each time the bus stops I will it to move as if this would help! Go into McD for a coffee and hash brown, hands shaking cup spilling. Went into 5 shops couldn't get my breath in BHS took a minute to get myself together. Got another bus to drop off prescription at the Doctors, jittery stomach churning. Another bus to get to Matalan, pictured myself fainting and making a fool of myself, legs pins and needles this time. Queued ages in the bakers and thought I might get out of the queue but didn't. Then another bus home, all this took 4 hours. I have a car but panic worse when I am driving.
My panic attacks are many and varied, the one I hate the most is all my teeth hurt and then my fillings feel as if they are getting an electric shock and this then travels from teeth to toes.
I make a list of what I want to do each day and make sure I do it despite this awful curse. I do feel less anxiety as the day goes on but I wake up feeling really bad evey day and then it eases a bit. I get this even if I go out with someone. I hope this helps feel free to ask any questions.
