Hi there,

Well the positive thing from all this is that you sound like you have had enough! Time to make changes.

Have you seen your GP? If you are prescribed I think your determination to help yourself will prompt you to take them regularly. Get into a routine taking them and it will be easier. Can you explain to your partner or anyone else how you have been feeling? or do they already know? What support have you had so far?

It will be hard work especially with the little ones - their behaviour is so unpredictable and won't understand when you need quiet time so don't beat yourself up if you have a bad day.

Read around this site, see the 'tags.' There's so much to learn that will help you make a difference.

having suffered Panic Attacks for over 35yrs and Anxiety every day I can fully understand what you arae going through.I to had that terrible fear of dying but with the fantastic help I got from having CBT referred for by my GP I am now on a short course of Sertraline for general anxiety and I feel great. In fact its a bit embarassing as I seem to sing all the time. Please see your Gp and trust the The Therapist my 3 children were very young when I started with panic attacks.

The frustration was not having a local support group to share my troubles with. I have thought about setting one up now I am retired.

Good Luck and remember there is lots of support out there and you can be free of this Demon we call panic

Cerry, Please believe me if you are struggling so badly why on earth won't you accept help from anti-depressants? none of us want to take medication but simply have to in order to survive and function. I hope you take antibiotics if you had an infection? You may need a short term prescription to help you get through these terrible times. You definitely need some help flower. Most of us on this site take some form of anti-depressants or anxiety meds because we have no choice. It is very important that you see your GP ASAP and tell him/her what you have told us. Please do this and tell us what happened and keep writing Cerry, you need as much support as you can possibly get xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I hate taking tablets as well but I knew I needed something to help me along the way of getting my anxiety under controll. I still hate taking them but I know for the time being there ok as they've helped me for the last three to four months. my doctor said to be on them short time, intill in the new year or when all signs have been gone for six months.as much as I hate taking them I'm going to carry on untiill I feel ready to come off them, but I will see the doctor when that time comes. they will help xxx
