I have a lot of problems with it, does fuck your life up a bit, had a nice few hours in Salford Royal today having tests done, getting home without falling down was interesting
When I was last back in Manchester, two years ago, had a few drinks with some people I used to work with. Talking to one guy who told me about how he had been a sufferer. Even working with him for years I had no idea what he went through.
This is the link to him and his work now, if any of you are seeking help. A finer lad you couldn't wish to meet and he's a blue !

Stay strong and try to fight it. Ultimately willpower will get you through. Just from my experience.

Just stumbled accross this thread,it's been very enlightening.Oakiecokie's post could have been written by myself,ive been a sufferer since my late teens,25 years in total.In my youth i did a lot of recreational drug use,mostly amphetemines and e's,it was the height of the rave scene in manchester and everyone did,well,all my mates did anyway.I always put my anxiety down to that,but ive since learned that my mum was also a sufferer and shes not even a drinker never mind anything else.The first year was horrific and totally life changing,i used to lie awake every night thinking i was going to die.As time went on i learned how to deal with the attacks and also what triggered them.I can still get caught out from time to time by a suprise attack,the most notable being whilst scuba diving at 40m depth in the hull of a submerged ship,needless to say i hung up my wetsuit after that.The lasting effects have been many,including dread of flying,insomnia,claustrophobia,and i suffer bouts of depression from time to time.
All i will say to anyone who is new to the attacks is that they are unbelievably commonplace in todays society and you can get all sorts of help these days,for me personally i dont take medication as ive found that deep breathing and meditation can stop almost every attack in its tracks.Heavy drinking sessions almost always triggered an attack for me the following day so i no longer binge drink.
Just know that it does get easier and you can learn to manage your life around it,there are lots of people who are happy to share their experiences and talking to fellow sufferers is a great help,although supporting city overvthe last 30 years or so definately hasnt fuckin helped!

I started to suffer work related anxiety about 18 months ago, but clearly nowhere near as bad as some on here. Was referred for CBT but didn't really 'get' all that mindfullness stuff. Things started to improve about 6 months ago when I changed jobs after 20 years in the same business. Still on the Sertraline, but down to a minimum dose now and hoping to come off it altogether in the next few months.
On a more positive note, I'm hoping 659m bastards are suffering anxiety ahead of next saturdays game ;)

On behalf of my fellow sufferers can I thank all the contributions to this thread on an issue that sometimes is either taboo or "can`t get myself to admit to it".
Some wonderful and sad tales,but help is always on hand,either through medical back up or just a discussion on here.Don`t be worried about taking medication as I`m probably in the minority rather than the rule nowadays,having been weaned off them some years ago having spent 17 years taking Diazepam.
Yes I still get them but through learning how to breathe properly during an attack has helped.Don`t be embarrassed if you are offered either Group Session or a One to One with a Counsellor.
In counselling YOU take the lead role, not them !! You discuss how you feel,the problems,the issues,your family and friends and how they can help.
Once again well done for so much positivity in a sometimes difficult subject.
