Hello all,
I am 39 (nearly) and the mother of two boys. I have always had anxiety and panic attacks, and am a constant worrier. I had a hard upbringing with alot of fear involved and this is where I think it stems from.
I have had one bad bout of PND and had prozac for a year. I have had some counselling but its not really been any use.
I was bumbling along until the last five months when a really close friend of mine really turned on me and cut me out of my whole social circle. Then I had an incident with my husband and he said he was going to leave me, he did not in the end. Well he left for an hour.
The next day I had a total breakdown, massive panic attack, feeling on another planet, and body shock stuff. That was just over a week ago, I spent the last week in the house unable to go out and have been in all sorts of pain. I had an ECG and other tests and 'there is nothing wrong with me'. I am currently suffering massive pain in my lower back and lower pelvic area.
I have been told I have IBS. I have alot of 'health anxiety' and am a self confessed 'googler'.
I am so sick of the physical side of things I have never had them this bad, I think I got some sort of burnout.
Sorry to go on, just want to be around people who understand and not the 'snap out of it brigade'.
Otherwise I have a pretty good life, and have no reason to be unhappy. Thats the kicker.
Thanks for reading,
Many thanks.
