Hey Missfluff. Welcome! This place really is a haven for the mind. I know it has set me straight a few times with my fears and anxiety. Just write what you're going through or what question has been bugging you. Everyone on here understands completely what you are going through so we can all empathize and give support.

I hope we all can help you get through this. Xox Cass

hi, i also just joined this week and keep wondering if i'm doing it correctly - I think people like us that suffer with anxiety issues tend to be perfectionists - I know I am - its the anxiety of getting things wrong - which I often do in life in general - just go with the flow if you can thats what i'm doing at the moment, everyone that has replied to me has been so lovely and its been really helping the way i'm feeling, hopefully you will find the same, everyone understands which is such a relief as i have friends that just dont get it at all. hope to hear more from you

love and strength till then xx

Really good site,will help you and let you know you are not alone,you will even come on the site to see if everyone else is ok

Hello everyone who has left me a message and thank you all. This horrible anxiousness only started completely out of the blue 2 weeks ago. I had had a lot of upset and worry within my family although thank god it's all sorted, also I lost my dear mum 14 months ago and I have a feeling it's now caught up with me. I miss her dreadfully. In the last 2 weeks I have shed many tears. As I said it all started just 2 weeks ago, I woke up the Friday morning and felt dizzy, panic set in, I began to feel like my legs wouldn't carry me, felt very detached, even more panic set in, couldn't relax or sleep properly as it made me feel so scared, in the end went to the doctors, she reassured me I wasn't having a breakdown, but it was what she called 'NATS'. Negative attitude thoughts. She prescribed me 2mg diazapam and to take one before I go to bed as I need to get into a good sleep pattern as my head and brain is so so tired. Does this all make sense to anyone out there? All I want is to feel like my old self again but I am scared I won't.

Hi Missfluff, I think these panics are prone to come when a period of intense anxiety has come to an end. Also you are still mourning my love. I'm glad you have found this site as you will be reassured that all you have written about has been experienced by most people on here. You will get there love, acceptance is the biggest step to take here and it will come

Love and Hugs x Ella x

Oh thank you so much Ella, that's what my doctor said. I was able to tell her more or less everything whats been happening and she explained I had dealt with all these issues but all the emotions had all come back in my head if that makes sense! My goodness isn't it amazing to think what your head and brain can do to you. I feel I want to chop my head off, tip it up, empty it out and start again . This site is good isn't it, only came across it yesterday. Thank you again x

My thoughts are with you missfluff x If you do find a sieve for the mind do let us know! You could sell it to QVC or something, we'd have a field day i tell you! Lots of love xx

in reply to sasays

Good idea about the sieve! Wish it was that easy, probably be a millionaire if you could make one x

Feel just like you,I want to take my head off and just give it a good shake to empty it,Your mind is really strange,it is just thoughts I get but all the time,I dread going to bed but dread when I wake up,they are there when I go to bed and are waiting for me when I wake

in reply to

Hello lindalou, tell me about it! Pity you can't buy new heads cos I would be first in the queue, I dread going to bed as well and it's the thoughts when you wake are even worse. I think what has thrown me today is I woke very early this morning and terrible thoughts were running wild in my head for at least an hour, they finally settled and all,I wanted to do was go back to sleep but couldn't. I think if I had have done I wouldn't feel so bad today. This is nothing but a living hell

I always just thought I was a bad worrier,but now know it has been gad,I retired just over a year ago and it has got really bad,I think because not dashing about and being to busy to think,it has come on full force,I can't believe since coming on to this site how many people have the same distressing symtoms,I thought I was the only one that had them

If you have not suffered from it,people will not believe how bad it is,some of the things that steamroller at a hundred miles in my head would be funny if they were not as serious to me.
