Well dnt know where to start realy?
my anxiety started around 5 years ago, a lot happened around the same time in my personal/work life. my employer of 15 years passed away, my marriage ended suddenly and my father was taken ill and required a life threatening operation (which was successful) thank god.this all happened within a 6 month period. i thought i could cope and took over the business where i had worked, i guess i tried to block out all what had happened by building up my business, within the first 6 months my premises was burgled one evening and a fair bit of stock taken! This devistated me, basicaly that was the straw that broke the camels back and hit me for six!
Since then i have suffered from anxiety/ mild panic attacks, I have been to my gp and he put me on some tablets but i stopped taking them when i felt better, this was around 4 years ago, Im still run the same business,
My personal life has got so much better and i now live with my partner, I dont think i ever got over my break in and it almost as though i am expecting something bad to happen again, when i get these feelings i get anxious and it can sometimes lead to a panic attack.
it is very hard to explain in words how i feel, but its like i am afraid of being hurt again and fear confrontation! where as before i was so confident.. am sorry if i have posted to much and appologise in advance,
