Hi all just thought I would just tell a small story about me. For the last few months my health starting to decline. Was not eating much and felt bad all the time. Slowly my panic attacks became unbearable, I thought I was going to die soon. Fortunately I just kept going to the doctor,the hospital more times than I can count in the end the hospital wouldn't treat me any more. I felt to frightened and alone,somehow I just kept on finally I was given ssri medication it took a while for the side effects to subside but still have ping lots of problems . The upshot of this story I have gone to a new doctor and now have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and thyroid problems. I suspect my anxiety and panic attacks may be linked to my thyroid. I just wanted to share this as it numerous trips and being told many times that it was just depression. I will keep you posted on how it ends up. Thank you for reading this long and hopefully not to boring a story.

Hi TJ (if that abbreviation is okay:-)

Thankyou for anything but a boring post. Off memory this month is Thyroid Awareness Month...I heard a public service announcement on 3AW about it. The symptoms of an over active thyroid gland do mimic some of the symptoms of anxiety/depression...

An excellent post TJ. You have been around the forums before which is great and thankyou for tips too. I have only been on since January this year and you just reminded me of thyroid malfunction...

I have had anxiety/depression for many years and its always good to read more positive input.

It would be great if you could let us know how you go 🙂
