Hey all, Okay i seriously need to get this off my chest.. when i was 16, i was sitting near my local mall smoking the good ol' green stuff.. i went into boots and i fainted.. i just remember paying for my stuff, walking away from the till.. then coming over tired, seeing the lights in the ceiling, and smaking my head on the chewing gum counter and falling asleep.. i woke up to my best mates blonde hair in my face shouting at me.. i didnt think much of it when i woke up.. i was fine..good ol' mummy picked me up, and i went home to sleep.. the second time i had just had a joint and i was wearing my new white winter coat, and i was in tesco's with my boyfriend.. i suddenly started to feel hot, i told my bf i was hot, and he said ''yeah just a minute'' so i tried everything i could to forget the feelings. And i started walking to get air on my face.. then i got the sensation i couldnt breathe.. without him, i started walking to the door, as i got near the tills, he grabbed me and i went deaf.. i grabbed his arm as hard as i could, and then i went blind.. i came round to him calling my name.. and being helped my him and a assistant to the car.. we went and had another joint to calm us both down..
Now.. this is destroying me.. at this point i never suffered with panic attacks, and i think this might be the cause.. i think this is where my anxiety started from.. i dont worry about it, i obsess about it, everytime i stand up, everytime i wake up..its the first thing i think about.. i think have i eaten enough? have i had enough sugar.. if i step outside will it happen? As i mentioned.. i was 16, i am now 20, i have had anxiety ever since the tesco incident.. and i haven't stepped foot in a supermarket since.. i am petrified of them.. its taking over my life.. I'm now coming off Flouxetine.. and haven't been feeling too sharp.. but this is just enhancing my fear..has anyone over come this? Can anyone help me? Please... im not proud to say im desperate... but i could really do with the advise.
Thanks all
