Anxiety and panic attacks: recent publications

All articles where Anxiety and panic attacks is mentioned

I’ve, been lucky enough up until this point to never personally experience any mental health problems. I’m quite a happy go lucky person by nature and my friends would probably describe me as being so laid back I’m borderline horizontal! For some strange reason I thought that made me immune to suffering from any kind of mental health condition.

Covid -19 has increased my pregnancy anxiety

I am 37 weeks pregnant and pretty scared. No point sugar coating it or beating around the bush – this is not how I envisaged my last few weeks of pregnancy. This is my first pregnancy and I have to admit that before becoming pregnant I was one of those people who thought that people exaggerated how grueling pregnancy is. But now my hands and feet are double the size, I have carpal tunnel, I can't sleep properly and generally feel awful! Add in the fact that my baby is going to be born in the middle of a global pandemic and the normal pregnancy worries and woes sky rocket.

How I’m managing my anxiety and depression during lockdown

It's hard to stay focused on anything that isn't your own anxiety at a time like this. Every attempt to disengage or take a break from the all-consuming panic and anxiety of not knowing feels like a leap, but one that drops me even further. Some days are manageable. I fill my day by watching a film I've always wanted to watch, or reading a new book, or even just listening to music. Those are okay days – it's safe to say a good day isn't really a possibility at the moment. Living with depression and anxiety will, on the best of days, leave me with pains in my chest as I worry about what will happen if I go outside. So now? It feels like a minefield.

Sut rwy’n delio gyda fy ngorbryder a fy iselder yn ystod y cyfnod ynysu

Mae'n anodd canolbwyntio ar unrhyw beth heblaw am orbryder ar adeg fel hon. Mae pob ymgais i ddatgysylltu neu gymryd egwyl o'r panig a'r gorbryder yn teimlo fel naid yn ddyfnach fyth i'r entrychion. Ar rai diwrnodau, rwy'n gallu ymdopi. Rwy'n treulio fy niwrnod yn gwylio ffilm rwy' bob amser wedi eisiau gwylio, neu ddarllen llyfr newydd, neu hyd yn oed wrando ar gerddoriaeth. Mae'r diwrnodau hynny'n rhai iawn - dydy diwrnodau 'da' ddim wir yn bosib ar hyn o bryd. Ar y diwrnodau gorau hyd yn oed, mae byw gydag iselder a gorbryder yn fy ngadael i â phoenau yn fy mrest wrth i fi boeni am fynd allan. Felly ar hyn o bryd, mae popeth yn teimlo fel her.

Sut mae grwpiau Mind lleol yn eich cefnogi chi yn ystod ynysiad

Roeddwn i yn fy swyddfa, yn cynllunio fy wythnos fel arfer, pan gyhoeddodd Llywodraeth y DU eu neges allweddol: 'Aros Adref, Amddiffyn y GIG, Achub Bywydau'.

How I’m coping with the pandemic

Since the coronavirus pandemic hit I have experienced a huge amount of emotions. There has been a lot of anxiety, particularly surrounding my parents and grandparents who are all high risk due to health problems and age, but also surrounding my own health as I have asthma. I have, alongside the rest of the country, felt a huge amount of uncertainty and stress. It has ranged from where am I going to be able to get my essential items from, to what is happening with my therapy and my son’s nursery. A surprising and consistent emotion I have felt though has been gratitude and it has also been one of the things that I think is helping me most through this.
