hello Folks
Im new here..
Also a Brightonian, moved further west but still in the Brighton area. I have suffered from Panic attacks for many years and just dont go into a situation where it can happen, this limits me in travel. i also dont do lifts and steep Escalators coming down, ok going up, weird i know.. I dont like being in side a building where i cannot find a way out fast... what happens is as soon as i get in and its strange the panic starts and i either try to fight it off/ ride it thru with the feeling of Dread and Fear that i might die... most people do not undertstand a panic attack and they say but why dont you just....... yeah if only! ....
I am going to the GP next Tuesday to find out how i can get help and hope to go on a cruise next year, i could have gone this year in June but i just cant face it.
My hobbies are my dogs( terriers) and not sure if i can face putting them in kennels, even though i have been told about a really really good one in Lewes. This is all link to my problem of anxiety, irrational fear and worry. I dont worry about just about everything, im one of these peopel that think yes but what if...
what if this happens, what if we crash. On a good note i have overcome my fear of Motoways If i drive with my Fiance i am ok. This does not mean i wont have a PA but if i do it wont be huge and i can pull over( not that i ever have yet) and get thru it, so they are slowly easing off as i get used to the FFaster roads... I drove to Lancs and back to get my puppy in 2004 and now we have a Sat Nav this is a life saver
A few years ago i would not even go 10 mins over the A27 to ASDA, in case i missed the turn off or made a mistake on the slip rd etc etc.
Thanks for reading
