Hello all, I’ve diagnosed with gad a few years back and tried to manage it with meds seeing a counsellor with nhs which helped a bit then less than 2 years ago my mom passed away from secondary breast cancer and I went onto meds to help out with the stress when she was ill and I was traveling a lot to see her and help my dad out, about 6 months ago I came off the meds and things have been okish, but for the last couple of weeks or so, anxiety has been creeping up and in the last few days I have persuaded myself that I am going to have a heart attack, then last night I found out of friends of mine passed away at the weekend... today has been pretty awful, especially tonight when I felt tightening of the chest and I was ready to drop my kids to a neighbour and go to a&e, my partner works shift and is working late tonight. I have spent the whole evening on years and lying down, worried that my 10 & 6 year olds are going to have to call 999 because I’d collapse on the floor. Anyway, checked out anxiety syndrome and bingo! All the signs are signs of a panick attack, which I know it is but cannot help thinking that I’m dying... I know I need to go back to the gp and get back in the meds, fuck it! I can’t spend my life like this... I will also ask to have an ecg to make sure that all is ok. Sorry this is so long, I think I just need a bit of an outlet...thanks if you’ve read that far
