Axiety

[LB1962]

Three years ago I had a panic attack and was OK until a month ago. I had another panic attack while I was driving and have not felt good since . I am afraid I am going to have another one all the time and I am always feeling anxious and lightheaded not sure what I should do , all I know is this is a horrible feeling. What type of doctor should I go to and is this normal when you have anxiety. I am not even sure how this all started when I had the panic attack I was in complete panic. Hate this feeling

Hi LB, I don t know where you re living but what I did was to go and see my GP. I had several tests like ECG, bloods etc. My GP was sure it s anxiety but that was not was I was hoping for. A bad stomach you can treat easily... but anxiety is so.... alien, like not ill but feeling like I m going to die. I then started CBT and counselling. Til this very day I don t know how it started and why. It s a long road to recovery. Please see your GP and get a diagnosis first. Take it from there and do come back here. We re all in the same boat. And yes, anxiety of a certain level is normal but when it makes us feel miserable every day, interferes with daily life then we should have it checked. I m going to see a psychiatrist next week because progress is very slow for me and anxiety too overwhelming. But everyone is different. All the best

Hey first of all your gonna be fine! It’s your mind telling you that something is stuck within you that you haven’t let go or processed completely. We tend to shove our mental health back and prioritize others things but that’s not working for you anymore. So first dig within you what and where is this originating from. Be honest with yourselves then once you find it make an action plan also find support and strategies
