Hi,
My names Abby im 23 years old and have been suffering from chronic anxiety and panic attacks for the last month-2 months. I suffered from panic attacks prior to this and was put on medication for it. I managed to wean myself off the medication in July last year. I thought i felt fine, however the panic and fear has now come back and i would like to relieve it again without going on medication. I suffered from the worst anxiety possibly in the days i first started taking the medication. I think it heightens your feelings by 100%! I felt worse before the medication kicked in and thats what im worried about if i go on the tablets again and also if i will never be able to come off them. I have tried seeing a therapist but there is a 3 month wait at the doctors at the moment. It's really hard because i feel a burden to my family and just need to talk to someone who know's how im feeling and how to recover from it. It's really strange i can be at work and feel fine and then i drive home and i have a flash of fear come in to my mind and feel as though i want to freeze. It's taking over my life. I used to be very social but this is affecting me.
Can anyone suggest anything i can do??x

Hi Abby & welcome!!
