Hi all
I’m Teresa – I’m 51 and have suffered with panic attacks/agoraphobia for 30 years – without most people knowing, apart from my husband and very close friends. I have worked for all those years too, and have been very clever at ‘how to get out of things I can’t go to’. The people I have worked for since 2001 eventually got to me with more pressure workwise than I could take & I cracked. At the end of July I went to see a dr (I don’t go there often as I have a blood & medical phobia too – it never just rains does it?) Anyway I’ve been off work since the end of July (They’re not happy in work, but tough), and am due back to docs next Tues (have a brilliant doc – never met him before July!!). I then have a 2nd meeting with a partner & my senior manager from work at my home next Friday – they keep asking how they can help to get me back, when am I coming back etc. I have to get them to minute during the meeting that they are putting me backwards with these silly meetings – lost almost 10 days sleep before and after the last one – after the meeting they were e-mailing me counter arguing things I’d said as answers to their questions the Friday before! I’m looking forward to talking to you all and progressing through the program. Sorry this is a bit long!!
