I understand a lot of what you said here mate. I've had panic disorder for years now. In the early days l actually thought I was going insane and took four weeks off work.

My GP prescribed an anti depressant, but that didn't help in slightest. I was lucky that my employers and importantly my work colleagues were very understanding, because I was worried I might be seen as seen as some sort of weirdo.

I thought I might become agoraphobic and I just couldn't let my life go that way.

I went back to work and just stood there shaking for the first hour, my stomach in knots and my heart pounding, but I stuck at it because I just love my friends and family, really.

I still have the anxiety to this day, but that's ok, them demons can get to ****. I'll take them on, one by one, the ****s them.

I ****ing love life.

This board is ****ing brilliant and that's because of people like you.

Up the Tigers <ok>
I keep saying it but again admire the size of your balls. You're fronting it. Treehugger is doing the same. Issues are still there but to me, the important bit is you've acknowledged them? And part of that is been able to share, whether it's on a forum, with friends or whatever it takes. It's those who dont find a way of sharing, and so are not able to acknowledge, or tackle their issues who I would fear for. But it's only my view and I could be talking absolute Ehab.
This is why a sticky on this forum is so important. If admin agree, what would be a good title?
