Hi everyone first time posting anything here, and unsure about how it all works. Thought I would reach out and seek some help. So I will give you a little background;
My name is Chris and I have been experiencing all sorts of negative anxieties and even depression for the last ten years. I find it difficult to find the exact words to describe how i feel but this analogy seems to hit the nail on the head so to speak.
Most days feel like I am in a burning building, the flames get hotter and I start coughing, wheezing and panicking, then i run to another part of the building and I can just about withstand it, but almost inevitably the flames rise again, trap me and the whole process happens again. The only thing that will extinguish the fire is rain, however it hasn't rained in years.
Bringing it back to the real world, panic attacks happen for me every now and again at least once every couple of weeks, it can be the smallest of things that trigger panic and some attacks are more severe than others. I have tried counsellors, psychologists and doctors and nothing seems to work for me yet, so I thought I would give this a go and reach out to people hoping that there are others out there who can empathise with my situation.
Thanks in advance for listening
Chris
