>My GP doesn't really understand - for instance, with panic attacks he feels that I should just be able to "pull myself together" and use willpower to stop them.
Lisa;
If your GP believes this, then he's not going to any help. You have panic attacks and what sounds like to me, depression. If I were you, I'd find a private therapist fast. Don't wait for the National Health Service, it takes months. Don't wait for months. It's expensive, but I'd find the money somehow.You found this board. That means your aware of the problem. Keep reading and posting. Read the past periods. There's a wealth of info there. There's another board that deals exclusively with panic attacks. It's web address is: http://www.algy.com/pdi/BBS/index.html
(be sure to scroll down when you get there).Good luck, hope this helps.
