    Yeah, anxiety that appears out of the blue, for no apparent reason, is just awful. It’s so hard to explain to other people as they always assume there must be a trigger for it, but often, in my case, there is no specific trigger.   As for me being brave, well, I guess it’s easy to be brave when...

    I’ve been ok for a few days, just had the odd moment here and there when I’ve felt a bit on edge. I go dizzy sometimes, that’s the hardest thing for me to deal with, it instantly makes me panic. I had an appointment in town the other day and as I was walking along the street I went dizzy and...

    Hey, well done for going to see the therapist, that’s a big step. :)  It’s not easy to open up to another person, particularly a stranger, about very personal issues. I know it’s really early days, but I hope that it will help you so much. x

    Hi Cubas, Thanks for your message. I’m sorry to read that you’re also struggling with anxiety. I wish there was a magic pill that we could take that would make anxiety disappear forever.  I hope you’re getting some help and support and hope that things get loads better for you soon x

    Hello, Thanks for your replies. Yes, I am receiving treatment. I've been on various anti-anxiety medications over the years, I've had counselling and also Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). They all helped a little but not enough. I am going to give CBT another go. I have Generalised Anxiety...

    Hello   I’m typing this just as a way to let off some steam really. I’m a 44 year old female. I would love to meet someone and have a long, loving relationship but it seems very unlikely that it will ever happen, for various reasons. I’ve had Panic Disorder and Anxiety Disorder since I was 20...
