Hello everyone!
I am new to this community. I have suffered from anxiety attacks long before I can remember. I never gave it much thought because I lead a very busy, active lifestyle. Recently I suffered some panic attacks at work due to a stressful project I was working on. My heart began racing very fast & I felt out of control. I realize now that I can't keep ignoring my anxiety because eventually it will catch up to me. I also have come to the realization that I feel overwhelmed by large groups of people in small areas. I feel like I can't breath & unconsciously been avoiding situations like this all my life. I drive out of my way to shop in less crowded areas & usually do my shopping & errands during the week to avoid the weekend madness.
I hope to meet people in the community who can relate.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this post.
Greatly appreciated

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Can definately relate!
I need to take a moment out & re-examine myself...
That panic attack where I felt my heart beating very hard against my chest was a real wake up call for me.
