Just wanted to say hi. I'm 40 and suffered with anxiety and panic attacks for around 10 years. For me the dizziness is the worst symptom. I seem terrified of passing out, social situations etc though nothing bad has ever happened. I also have silent migraines that may or may not be related. Today has actually been a good day. I woke up deciding i would just accept any odd feelings, and just continue my normal day, work etc....and i felt fine. By accepting the sensations they seem to have lost their power....for today at least. Hugs to you all. I hope today has been good for you x

Its so reassuring to speak to others that know what it's like. I've had couple of moments today where i felt the dizziness rising. I found myself calmly telling myself that i was ok, that I'd felt it before, that nothing had ever happened because of it and to just carry on...and it faded. It never feels far away but, for now, i feel I'm stronger than the panic...and that's a start 😊
