really struggling.....

hi everyone, my name is ruadhan and signed up last week, its a fantastic community you have here and i hope
i can be part of it.im 28 and have had panic attacks since i was 14. my life has really been put on hold because
of it. i keep thinking im goin to die and the feelings are really bad when im in bed, i get tingling sensations at
the back of my head,nausea and dizziness, it got really bad one night lastweek, i woke up at 6am
ina real panic that i had to get out so i quickly got dressed and jumped in the car and just drove around town.
im on medication for it, 50mg of lustral per day which is noe been increased to 100mg per day
i just wish i could lead a normal full life but these negative thougts wont go away
thank you in advance for reading

really struggling.....

thanks guys for the welcome its much appreciated, im glad to be here with you all, just to answer davits question on my medication, i was first given lustral 6 years ago and i was on 100mg per day, 4 years ago that was reduced to 50mg per day as there was improvement for me, 3 years ago that was then reduced again to 50mg every 2nd day but a few weeks ago i got them (panic attacks) realy bad again and decided to go to a different doctor and she decided to put me back up to 100mg per day for the next month as she thought 50mg every 2nd day was much to low to give me any relief. so here i am back on 100mg per day and none the better. im sure this site could be the way for me as i always wanted to
interact with fellow sufferers to i guess show myself that im not the only one who has this.

fear of nights

what i noticed lately with my panic attacks is that when im  distracted (working,sports etc) i dont get panic attacks really but when im lying in bed with no distractions is when im motst vunerable, the mind is a very complex
machine

My Introduction

welcome to the program kezza.
i have anxiety for about 12 years now and i must say that the program is fantastic.
its a great place to release and to chat  about any issues you may have with anxiety and also share
experiences with others.you'll find it very helpful here.

Im only 18 and experiencing Panic attacks!

hi
i know exactly how you feel. i feel like im going to die from these panic attacks but it will get better.
i tell myself that i dont fear death long before i get one and there not half as bad now.
turning the negative of fear into the positive of acceptance realiy worked for me.
hope it works for you to.........
