On top of that I have always suffered from panic attacks and anxiety, you know that feeling that you are going to die when you are in a surrounding as serene as a fish shop (aquatics not a chippy!).
I am only just coming around to accepting that I have a problem and have gotten started on a course of medication, I have been to see therapists in the past and done relaxation and stuff but it just is not working any more, hopefully the meds will.
Oh well thats my 2p worth.

I would say the more the merrier to this thread but not terribly appropriate! Accepting, or understanding, that you have an issue is the biggest hurdle in my experience. When I first went to the docs (with my exceptionally patient partner) I just burst into tears on the street (Market Street, Diamond
- sorry local knowledge) straight afterwards. Not entirely sure why but I think a good part of it was the realisation that something fundamentally wasn't right and that I'd taken a step to rectify that.
Good luck with your own demons
