Dear Bailey3~

I'd like to welcome you here to the forum, a good place to choose as there are many here (including myself) who too suffer from anxiety and panic attacks. A hard thing to try to cope with, at the start I found it very frightening, not realizing what was happening.

 

You can do a search for 'panic attack' here on the Forum using the spyglass at the top of any page.

 

Actually the forum is divided into sections, and Anxiety is one of them. If you have a browse there you may well find people to talk with. You might also consider starting you own thread there too

 

As for support groups the members of the forum are not in a position to recommend anything specific. You can try the national list at the Black Dog Institute

 

https://www.blackdoginstitute.org.au/resources-support/support-groups/

 

And of course also our own 24/7 Help line who may know of something.

 

Trying to deal wiht these attacks on one's own is very hard, may I ask if you have support? You know you are welcome here anytime.

Hi Bailey3,

 

Sorry that I don't have something to refer you directly. However I think you can try to ring Beyondblue hotline 1300 224 636. They have a range of online and phone-based support services, as well as a directory of local support groups 🙂
