Hi there,
My Name is Jessica and I am 22 from the UK. Things have been a bit insane recently. I am a very social person by nature, but due to panic attacks (full blown fainting) this has changed quite drastically. I have been on prozac for 7 weeks now. Went to the doctors when I just couldn't cope any more. I am also seeing a private therapist once a week to try and get me back on track.
I am extremely lucky in that I have just graduated and been offered my dream job. I need to be stable enough to work in the office with out this constant nauseating fear. I am terrified, I will have an attack whilst I am there.
I can trace the attacks back a couple of years, but the constant feeling of anxiety has only been 6 months or so, so bad initally that I could not leave the house. It is so very unlike me, and I just want to be better and to talk to people who understand.
Things are looking up, I have noticed a huge difference since I started the medication, I still have good days and bad days. But now on the bad days I can still function and leave the house.
But I am still not "right" and feel so incredibly lost, so i thought I would come here and see.
