It is a very safe place to chat to people with the same experiences. </P> <P>Well done taking the big step of posting for the first time.</P> <P>Panic attacks can happen at any stage of your life and sometimes right out of the blue. It happens to a lot of people, you are not crazy or weird or dying. </P> <P>Have you seen your GP? They can complete a mental health plan with you that will allow you to see a psychologist at a reduced rate. They might also discuss some medications which can help if this becomes long term. </P> <P>Please try not to stress about burdening your partner. He sounds like he is very supportive. Just like you would help him if he got sick. </P> <P>If he is having difficulty he can always start up his own account and chat to people on the caring for others forum. There is lots of advice there. </P> <P>Please keep posting whenever you feel like you need too. </P> <P>Kind thoughts, Jess</P> Sat, 05 Jan 2019 07:54:08 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/anxiety/panic-attacks-and-overwhelmed-i-m-so-lost/m-p/373689#M27597 jess334 2019-01-05T07:54:08Z
