Hi all

I am new to this forum. And although I empathise and sympathise with all of you, I also find comfort in knowing that I am not alone with this condition. The first time this happened to me I thought that I was going mad. My doctor just told me to " be confident." what the ?? Thank goodness for zoloft. It helped with through the first time. Now I'm finding 5 years later that I have had a relapse and I had to go back on zoloft. Its helped so much with the heart palpataions and the shakes which can be completely dibiliating. At least I am eating and drinking again and I am also managing to function in the work place again. My sleep patterns are also better, however I am finding it hard to get out of bed in the mornings. In better times I am an early riser, so I find it frustrating that it takes me agers to pull the covers off and get in the shower in the mornings.

My partner thinks that I am crazy. I guess cause over the last 3 years, he knew the confident me and doesn't know how to live with this ME..Poor bugger, I don't know how to live with this ME some days either. Does anyone else have problems helping there partner understand ?? When I'm like this, I concerntrate so hard on getting through the day as normal as I can. I forget that my actions or lack of actions affect the people that I love as well.

I have been lucky in the way that my husband was able to meet with my therapist during one of our sessions and get some information from her such as lists of my process from low anxiety to high anxiety to panic so he can recognize what's happening and when. It has helped him in that he feels like he is invloved and has a place in all this. It helps me, to that he somewhat understands because then I don't feel so guilty when I am in a mood or having an attack. :D
