Hello, I suffer from panic/anxiety attacks if I am put in difficult situations which I find stressful or new. They are so bad I physically pass out, which doesn't help as I then stress about what would happen to me if I did (I could be stuck where ever I am and then get stressed about what would happen then). Its a never ending circle for me.
For Christmas My son gave us tickets to go to the 02 to see Meatloaf in concert tonight.
I don't like crowds and going to London sends me into panic mode.Tube trains feel claustrophobic, and the fact that the 02 seats 20,000 frightens me. I do spend a lot of time checking my watch waiting for the things to end when I know I will be on my way home.
I flew to Ireland last year (another thing I don't like doing) and the doctor gave me some diazipan tablets to use.
I would like to go to the concert without taking these but feel that if I get into a panic that taking the tablet then wont work. I almost feel a failure by taking them.
I used to be able to do anything without hesitation, even driving 200 miles alone, now I just feel so useless as I can't go on training courses for work with out escorts.
So dilemma is do I just take the tablets and enjoy the night out knowing the tablets are damping down the symptoms and I will be OK.
