Love Newcastle it's my birthplace 😎! You can get yourself back to a better quality of life gradually step by step. Can recommend a good book Anxiety Panicking about Panic by Justin Fletcher. Also an 8 week Mindfullness meditation course you can download as audiobook I'm on week 6 at the moment by mark Williams and Danny Penman. Maybe try some aromatherapy oils such as lavender in a bath or carrier oil for massage. Green tea is great for anxiety. I'm also trying magnesium oil to run into skin but you can also try Epsom salts in bath. X

Don't worry it won't be like this forever it's just temporary. Have you managed to get any counselling I found it helped me. counselling-directory.org.uk/ has local therapists to see who is in your area. X

Ps when I find a panic attack looming I hold my breath as long as possible and slowly breath out a few times. The dizzy feeling is down to too much oxygen in our system (because we are anxious and breathing wrong) so doing this reduces the oxygen levels and the dizziness should pass x

Have you ever taken antidepressants? I've got them but won't take them my husband says I should try as I'm so low? X

[Nicki1984 in reply to Bb53]

You will get there it takes time. Not taken antidepressants but tried proponolol for anxiety. Didn't take them for long. Maybe try them for a while and see if they help you can always stop if you don't feel it helps x
