Hello everyone, I've recently been diagnosed with panic disorder and its beginning to get me down. They are fairly chronic, and I get faint, can't walk, can't talk and my hands/arms lock into fists and curl against my sides. This shut down in turn makes me panic more as I can't tell anyone/do anything to help myself if I'm on my own!! I'm not on any medication for it yet, but I'm fairly sure I know why it's started - and that's because of a situation I have been anxious about for years with a 'friend,' of mine. I need to talk to them to resolve things but I'm terrified of pushing them away and this in turn starts another attack off!
How do I tackle this?! It's a very frustrating, vicious circle isn't it?! Many thanks in advance!
