I'm 23 years old. Since i was 18 i have been having panic attacks. Well, thats how i describe them. When i get really nervous i am physically sick. I get a cold sweat all over my body. But i know when it will happen. there not random and for no reason. example- going for a meal with my boyfriends friends/family. or going on a bus. (haven't been on one for 5 years now) for fear of this happening. I think its when i'm in a situation where i really don't want to be sick for fear of being embarrassed or talked about. i'm quite a shy person. I have seen my G.P about it and he suggested counselling, which i am not keen on, or medication, which i have been on since it started 5 years ago. Its a form of anti-depressant which helps me sleep and is supposed to be calming.
I just wondered if there was anyone out there who has the same kind of problems as me. get in touch if you do.
Thankyou.
