    They can be different to what you've had before, it's obviously caused you a lot of stress but it's passed now just keep taking deep breathes and try and relax. I get them out of the blue they're awful but we have to fight through them rolleyes hope your ok x

    Horrible but very normal, anxiety likes to change it's game in order to keep scaring you, it does it by throwing in something new because you get used to 'your' symptoms and although they are still horrid you at least know that it's anxiety, you feel reassured to some extent by the familiarity of 'your' symptoms so in comes something different to spike your fear.

    At the moment it's doing it to me, body shakes and jelly legs to add to my usual symptoms, I know how drained you feel, I just wish it would go away for once x

      I'm just so fed up I spoke to the doctor about speaking to someone he just ignored me and offered me more medication and said go online and look for local anxiety groups I can go to this all started because of something horrible that happned I just think I really need to talk to someone about it

      I know what you mean about the GP situation, don't get me wrong mine is lovely, I actually have 2 I see but both can only offer more meds which I don't get on well with at all.

      I have a CPN but let's just say if she was a teapot she'd be a chocolate one, utterly useless and so impatient.

      Are there any places you can self refer to in your area? There might be some counselling or CBT units, it's still free and apparently it's much quicker than going through a GP referral.

      My daughter was seen in 3 weeks, I'm going to do it as soon as I feel I can cope with getting there.

      Have a search on google or contact MIND, they'll know what's available, good luck x

      l am the exact same as you just now Bella shakes all over and legs like jelly ...my councellor prescribed me mirtazipine before xmas and l had to call my own doc as they have been making the shakes worse and the panic worse...only good thing they done was give me a good nights sleep...my own doc has told me to stop them right away...l know these meds give you dry mouth but this is beyond dry they have actually burnt my tounge it is so sore.....so just been coping with the CBT therapy.....seeing councellor on tuesday so hopefully she can help with something else as l need to get this under control......just wish l could have a couple of free days at least x

      Great! Yes they help you to think about your anxiety differently and teach you how to cope with it. If it works it'll teach you to realise it's not dangerous and to overcome it smile really hope it works it did for me a few years ago but that was with different symptoms to what I have now x
