Hi Pips

Active topics is a way people can see who has posted since they last visited. When you next come in then click on that so you can see what posts are new.

Your post is still there under MISC - I see you replied.

You seem to be doing ok at replying - can I help with anything specific?

Hi Pips,

Welcome to the forum. Just familarise yourself with the different message threads etc and that should give you a bit more confidence on posting a message. You are doing ok though. There is loads of useful information regarding panic attacks and anxiety on the home page, plus there are loads of personal messages from fellow sufferers who know how you are feeling.

Let us know how you are feeeling and what symptoms you experience etc and we will all try and reassure you that you are ok.

Keep in touch

Hi Red & Me, Many thanks for replying. I try to take one day at a time with anxiety/panic but it's not easy! The coping methods i use are natural remedies i.e The Bach Flower Remedies,also i find burning aromatherpy oils helps. I try to preoccupy my mind with other things when i feel really bad but that's easier said then done! I hope you are both well & happy Take care Pip'sX

Hi Sadie, Thanks for replying and for the useful info. Some of my Symptons/Emotions i experience are : Fear, Pulpatations, Shakey, Scared of losing control, tearful/depressed very lonely etc...
My worse thing being is that i tend to worry & think far too much and am far to oversensitive for my own good! This website is Fab though! Take Care all the best Pip's.X

Dear Pips,

Its such a hard thing to overcome but you can get there ...

Your symptoms are very common and have been experienced by most of us on here at one time or another..

' i tend to worry & think far too much and am far to oversensitive ' This is the key -leading to the physical symptoms once you've done some thinking and added 2 and 3 and made 6 .

Keep posting. I used to live on Bach remedies.
