Hello all. I'm new here but have been suffering panic attacks since november, with agrophobia thrown in.
The cause of my syptoms have been caused by trying to help my wife who was abused as a child, which as made her abusive to me in a mental way, which after five years have really got to me and caused me this affliction. the only medication i am on is propranolol, but i have to start prozac tommorow.
Anyway, something very strange happened to me today. My wife had one of her nurotic episodes and because she refuses to go to the doctors for help, i've got so fed up with the struggle that i (out of the blue) decided to go to the doctors myself to talk to them about her condition. Bare in mind here that i havent been able to go out for months without feeling i was going to faint or go mad or something. getting on a bus was something i had resigned myself to never doing again because of the terror it caused me. Today i did all of that and more, without a flicker, i even enjoyed the bus ride and didnt want to get off, i went to the chemist, talked to the receptionist, and everything a person can do who doesnt have panic attacks.
So, what happened, why was i able to do this. It's been 3 hours now and i am still dazed with what i was able to do.
This is such a strange condition.
Best wishes
