Nice to meet you too.

Ok here goes. I have Cerebellar ataxia, underactive thyroid, high blood pressure, migraines, Dysarthria and just been diagnosed with HPV and they found cells on my cervix after a smear.

Added a mens mental health sub-forum and you will be able to find it under Mental health discussions.

I know it's almost 6 months away but I think Christmas will be hard this year. my MIL passed away in January and this will be our first Christmas without her. she had stayed over Christmas for years.

Neither. Usually just say a cold drink.

I would say clean.

I do have anxiety and fear, I do isolate a lot. I also have the odd panic attack. We're all here to support each other. We might not have all the answers as we have MH issues too but it will help not being so alone.

I guess it's different for everyone, but I take deep breaths and something my therapist taught me was to tap your knees with both hands. I thought it was silly at first but it does help.

Should show on the forum. They're enabled so not sure why they won't show for you. I love your avatar ❤️

Do you have any support at all? I am sorry that you have panic attacks. I have the odd one but not as often as yourself.

Here listening. It's what the forum is for. we want to support you.

Sorry to hear that @tanya6mason we're here for you.

Hi @Jane it's lovely to see you again.

to the forum @tanya6mason It's lovely to meet you.

Experiencing your first panic attack can be really frightening and confusing. You might not know what’s happening to your body or why it’s happening. This thread is for anyone who has had a first panic attack and wants to understand it better. Feel free to share your experience, or seek advice on what to do next. Learning about panic attacks can help reduce fear and give you tools to manage future episodes. Did your first panic attack come out of nowhere? How did you cope?
