hi all,
ill start from the beginging hope i wont bore you all.
i got my 1st panic attack when i was about 13/14 and i kept feeling like i couldnt breath. i also used to think i had every disease going. as i grew older i stopped having these thoughts and panic attacks till i was 19/20. it was the day i was flying on holiday. i had never flown and never been away on holiday with out parents etc. i started feeling like i couldnt breath when i was shopping for clothes. i stopped drinking and smoking for fear i would die if i did. i wanted to be in control 24/7. aafter 6mths again they stopped i was fine....till last year.
i walked into a pub and all of a sudden felt sick hot and felt like i was gonna pass out i felt i couldnt breath and had to leave. i had to go home. since then i have suffered these all the time. i get nervous when i go out to usual places if im out on a night i have to drink 2 pints at the bar to calm me down.
i now started getting them seriously bad when im driving i LOVE driving but not no more. i cant drive out of my street without this happing and its ruining my life. i cry and get scred i cant breath and i will die or have a heart attack.
its ruining my job my relationship and my life. i dont know where to start. i keep driving to try not let it beat me BUT it now is i have to turn around or be drinking alcohol to go anywhere. if i dont i cant do it.
even now at home i feel like this.
can anyone help?
