Surprised not to see it on here already as while there is plenty of rough and tumble TWTD is usually a safe space* to talk about mental health issues.

My brain decided to celebrate the occasion by gifting me a b**tard of a panic attack this morning. I was pretty much too scared to drive to work (I have PTSD type issues from a fatal** road accident a few years back), and having eventually calmed down enough to drive I still kept uncontrollably crying during the drive and for the first half hour at work.
I'm lucky enough to be able to afford private counselling, so I have a fairly good handle on why this is happening and what I can do about it, but many others are not so lucky.
If you're affected by mental health issues, today or any other, I wish you well, I hope you have somewhere you can talk about it, and try to remember, It's OK to not be OK.
* - I'm not a fan of the term myself, but it annoys all the right people, so sod it.
** - not for me, obviously, but not a fun experience as a witness either. |  |

Thanks for posting. The more open we are about mental health and the more normalise it to the same level as other normal medical things, the better prepared we will be for ourselves and those around us. |  | | |

Sounds horrible - both the panic attack and cause. All the best to you mr/mrs. |  |

The older I get, the more I realise that most people at least have some small quirk to deal with. Not sure there's such a thing as someone with 'normal' mental health. | |

Some people even sink so low as to support Norwich City.
But seriously, great post and topic we should all be mindful of. The days of 'man up and get over it' are hopefully long gone and we can now all feel free to share our experiences and how we're feeling. |  |

This is why I'm keen for my little one to support Arsenal! Happier times. | |

Great post mate, and sorry to hear what you're going through and the circumstances surrounding it.
This time last year i was in a dark place and didn't even realise it, until some life events led to me reassessing my life.
With the help of Mind, Norfolk and Suffolk Wellbeing, and support from friends and family (which i didn't really deserve), I have come out of the other side and am in a much better place.
If anyone needs to chat, feel free to send a DM |  | | |

having seen mental illness at close quarters I can understand your plight
Thanks for sharing it with us.
My hope is that with so many high profile names coming forward telling their own cases that it will start to get the attention it needs & that will lead to some seroius actions.
Good luck | | | |
