i've bin there lakeman77.you arrive at a traffic light on stop and feel trapped and get stressed cos your not moving.You have to wait in a queue at the shops and start to think your going to fall over and collapse and the few minutes wait is like an eternity.Setting off in a plane 'WoW' its hell cos your not in control.Travelling on a train feeling out of control and want to get off all the time having to grit your stomach to keep control.Learning I wasn't the only one was my first step to recovery.I call it the silent illness because if your friends and family don't understand you tend to keep quiet about it and become silent.Look into 'Reike' .lakeman. It worked for me.

hi lakeman.My mistake 'reiki' . apologies. Having suffered the symptoms for 15 or so years in the 80's 90's when I couldn't get advice or help because doctors didn't want to know and most peoples reaction was that I should pull myself together and get on with it I just accepted it and lived with it.I went into myself and just carried on.It was hell.I carried on working and needed immense determination and character to get through every day and treated every day as a fresh start.
'Reiki'. While living in Scotland in the mid 90's I met a person who recommended it to me and because everything else I tried failed I gave it a go.Its a hands on treatment to transfer universal energy into your body through the body of the healer.It takes about an hour.During the session I felt all sorts of sensations but most of all total relaxation (for the first time in 20 years).There are so many people that practise reiki now I am sure you will be able to find one.I personally believe its a loving healing energy from god.I decided to take a couple of weekend courses and learn reiki 1 and 2 myself.The master who taught me was a buddhist so its up to each person to make up their own mind as to where it comes from.Since that time I have treated myself every night before going to sleep and never looked back.So please give it a go lakeman and hopefully it will work for you.
Lakeman, before you spend a lot of money on things like reiki, get the meds for immediate control, and go to your library, or buy the book called Don't Panic. It has helped so many people understand that your issues unfortunately are so very common.

That does sound like me. How have you dealt with it? Also, what is 'Reike"?
