Hello Iam New Here
Posted: 02-01-06 13:06pm

I just wanted to firstly to say hello to everyone, I have just become a member of this site and it is already becoming an important lifeline for me.

I have been suffering in silence for just over seven months now with this mysterious illness, I had my first major attack several months ago, i’ve always been depressed and just an all round pessimist, the symptoms being rapid heart beat, fever, sensitive hearing, faint numbness in hands, claustrophobia and the horrible relentless nausea.

Last week I had a bad attack it ended up with my friends calling an ambulance and I have never been the same since, the nausea just does not dissipate.
It was diagnosed last monday as “anxiety attack.” the doctors were very nice and I was just so happy that this illness finally has a name, but I was just given a leaflet, drugs (diazepam) and some vague information about c.B.T. And then sent on my way.

I feel so lost and alone, this is so all new and alien to me, I was just on the phone with mind they put my name down on a waiting list for c.B.T. And the waiting list is for five months! I can’t wait five months I can feel this illness eating me inside out, it’s already started to take over my life; for months now it’s practically made me a prisoner in my own home, when I venture out, nearly always an attack is triggered, now iam having these attacks at home.
