Hi All,

I never thought i'd post a forum, i'm normally the one reading them.

I'm after some help here i have had aniety for the last 5 years on and off, started getting panic attacks suddenly and couldnt breathe and became afraid of the outdoors. ( 17-20) i was on anti depressence which didnt really work and so i took myself off them.

I got a lot better for a while and it all went away! it was like i was healed i hads never been so happy!! no panic attacks no bad thoughts just enjoying my life.

Then suddenly i got struck with it again i wont go to public places because i feel spaced out and feel sick. I cant even sit at the table and eat as i go dizzy and feel sick, the worst thing is bed time.. i wake up EVERY night at 1,2 or 3 with a jolt of panic and feel so so sicky.. i sit up in bed and panic and wonder why do i feel like this. Its HELL!! why me! sad  going out the house is so so so hard and at work is hard but i try hard at work for it not to effect me. Feels like my life is over and im scared and lonley and wonder why i'm here sometimes - will it ever go away! i take propanlol too that helps like 1% sad

Someone please help i want to sleep and  be ok please sad sad

    Do you have a therapist or a counsellor or someone who is trained to help?

      Cognitive Behavorial Therapy.

      It's supposed to teach you a way to think through anxiety rationally I think.

      Can you look into it?

    Trust me I feel the use way , I struggle every single day with this anxiety , its running my life , I'm to scared to do anything and for about a.week or two I though i'd had it under control and I was getting my life back but low and behold it slowly started to resurface each day more.and more , living with anxiety is such a debilitating, depressing, sad , scary thing . I wish it would leave us all alone and return back to normal anxiety levels like normal people

      Sorry to hear that sweet. I'm almost questioning what did I do to deserve it!! If only we could be free of if we would be so happy. It's trying to get people to understand which is the worst. Take care xx

      It flares up sometimes. It will calm  back down. Takes a few weeks. Im 20 plus years living with it so im telling the truth, it does calm back down again. Keep positive and do all the self calming stuff you know. Maybe the migranes you get kind of triggerd it off. You will have your life back. You will. This stuff works in cycles for some reason. Dont feed into it. I wish it would leave us all alone too, everyday all the time.
