I can't handle it anymore

[Heidi1981]

I have suffered from panic attacks since I was a child. I lost my Mum 3 years ago and they have progressivly got worse.

I HATE them... I dont know what to do anymore, i just want them to stop.

I'm petrifies im dying ALL the time. I think i have cancer, hiv... everything.

How can i make it stop... Please help me someone.

maybe its worth going back to the doctor and telling them you need more help, than just a leaflet!!

I do understand where you are coming from and early stages are not nice and very frightening. Try to remember that panic attacks wont harm you, they are just not nice to exprerience and can leave you feeling very drained and tired.

Hello Heidi,

It is definitely worth going back to your doctor, and explain exactly how you feel. Perhaps you could ask if you can have some counselling. Many people find it does help; with therapy it is possible to learn to change the way we process our thoughts, and to acquire some useful coping techniques. Health anxiety is difficult to cope with, and it can be a real struggle at times, but there are plenty of people here who understand how you are feeling and will help support you. I do believe with some good counselling there is every chance you will begin to get stronger.

Thank You all. I am going to book another appointment with my doctor this afternoon.

I just worry that I am going to spend the rest of my life feeling like this! I dont know that I could bare it!
