Hello. New everything.

[Enirma]

Hi everyone. This is my very first time posting, anywhere really. I have been a long time anxiety sufferer with undiagnosed pots on top of it. I have many fears but my biggest is fear of panick attacks. I had one today at the movies. Finally time to face this stuff head-on and stop feeling so worthless all the time. I am a mother of three young kids and I used to be a structural engineer. Where should I start on my road back to a "normal" life?

Hi enirma, I too suffer with anxiety. Depression also but the anxiety is unreal at the moment.

Have you contacted your GP/family doctor? That is what I did. She is very good and easy to talk to.

Have you told anyone else how to feel?

It felt like a big weight lifted when I saw my Gp and talked to her. We discussed medication as I am suffering and I also have children, twins 3.5yrs old.

Hope you get some help x

The movies... I always have panic attacks at the movies...

I started with my family doctor. I really trust his opinion and I fell like we are always on the same page when it comes to my care. It was great to finally be open with someone, I felt wouldn't judge, just help.

I have 2 boys... 9yrs and 11yrs. I had to do something when I noticed how I was effecting my oldest... we are so in tune with each other... I could see him acting different because of me.

Hang in there!

Thanks! I did talk with my doctor and felt heard for the first time in a very long time. Still a daily struggle but there are some good days mixed in. Thanks again.
