Ok drs is going to take ages and I am on my own but really scared and want to know whats wrong with me..

I get this feeling like I'm going down hill on a rollacoster followed quickly by a boom in my throat like my heart has missed a beat then go all dizzy and start fretting

What is it - is it a pannic attack??

If so please tell me they go away or I can take something??

they do sell it in Boots, but it is now 6pm! Do you have a Boots on a late night retail park anywhere near you? You mentioned Tesco's, I'm sure they sell it in our local one. Wish I could bring some round for you!

tesco will have it and get some camomile tea aswell while you're there.I find telling myself it is just something unpleasant I ahve to go through helps.It has never killed anyone but it is very unpleasant and will pass.Has anything happened recently that could be on your mind even subconsciously.

noddyholder · 12/05/2007 18:29

Is it anything you can talk about on here?Sometimes the daftest things set them off.We started looking a bit further afield than europe for a holiday and because of my health I think I got scared and it has been on my mind but I didn't say anything as I didn't want to disappoint dp and ds I think that started mine.

Oh noddy, It would take me forever to describe one week of my life, beyond help I'm afraid. I have a rather intense eating disorder, brought on by a bad childhood and bad experiences. Have fled violent xp and now live in secret. Never ending.

I even hate myself so much I have to shower with a t-shirt on

Could you manage some glucouse sweets or something to help your sugar levels? Appreciate that could be hard wiith your background but it might help? Or some juice.

cathcart · 12/05/2007 19:56

good luck hills, keep us in mind if you need to talk x

maximummummy · 12/05/2007 22:20

hi hilllary - sorry didn't reply b4 you left for your sisters
the aconite remedy i mentioned is just very small tablets i think they are chalk(?)with a very diluted ammount of aconite on them so i think anyone can take them. You can get them from health food shops and they do homoeopathic remedies in Boots too

rescue remedy has various flower dilutions in a brandy base (so you can't use this if you are a recovering alcholic)it is very usefull to have in the first aid box or even in your handbag

i think that if you could afford to a weekly session with a healer/reiki/aroma therepist would really help you

i am really not a right on hairy lentil weaver but i found these things have helped me over the years.

paulaplumpbottom · 12/05/2007 22:55

Are you still up? How are you feeling?
