having suffered anxiety/panic disorder for many years i would have thought i would recognize the signs and ignore it but no,i allow panic to take over and my thoughts are blown out of proportion which makes it worse.i take anti depressants,beta blockers and thyroid tablets for over active thyroid which i guess this condition makes anxiety worse.i wake in the early hours and get up because i cant sleep and i only have to have one tiny ache somewhere and i start to panic over different illness and get into a state thinking i am going to get something i have no control over,a kind of compulsive obsessive disorder as my gp calls it,i try ignoring these thoughts and thinking of something pleasant but these thoughts take over and i end up sitting there taking deep breaths and getting hot and shaky.has anyone any suggestions on conquering this.
