Hi Rasah
Welcome and good on you for having the courage to post too!
I used to have chronic anxiety years ago, I understand the pain you are going through. Anxiety attacks are hellish to go through.
Just some good news for you Rasah...
- an anxiety attack cannot make you die despite the feelings making you feel otherwise
- the severity of the anxiety does decrease over time with super regular counseling and if your GP agrees the meds do provide us with a solid platform on which we can heal in conjunction with the therapy
- the meds on their own are just a band aid...Commitment to therapy is essential
I really hope you can stick around the forums and let us know your thoughts and how you go 🙂
The forums are a judgement free zone. You will never be judged here. There are many gentle people with anxiety that can also be here for you, even if you just need to chat
my kind thoughts for you
Paul

Hi rasah, well done for taking the step and joining us on the forum. I know exactly how you feel..you are not alone in this everyone on here has been where you are.
I am still working through it myself but i have definitely seen a change over the past month. My first step was going to se my gp which automatically they mention medication which at the time i needed to calm me that second the panic attack occurred. It took me a good month going through all of that.
Then i started to research everything there is to know about anxiety and panic attacks and what i could do to help myself.
First thing is seeing a psychologist because you need someone you can talk to that will give you pointers and yes i was against everything i thought how is talking to someone going to help but you will be surprised.
I am also going to get acupuncture done wich also helps relieve tesion in your body.
Motivatonal videos, a great one to follow is ralph stuart infinite waters. He is amazing, just by watchig his videos makes me feel that bit better. Because he also has been through it.
I am also taking natural supplements. Magnesium is a good one to take.
And meditation especially at night time helps you sleep.
See how you go with these.
It has helped me improve.
