Hi all, not been on here lately as been very busy, good and bad though, lol. As you may have read on the other board, i don't have skin cancer, one thing out the way. My eldest turned 18, and i feel older still lol, and we put on a show for her. I did so well, although it was so very tough and scary. My heart must have been going at 200bpm for about 4 hours and i had so many ectopics and multiple ectopics that i could not count them, but i did it and i have survived. (Still flabergasts me that your heart can go through something like that, for such a long time, and not do you any damage!!) She then proceeded two days later, to pass her motorbike test, i think i was more nervous than her, lol. My youngest had two, stubborn milk teeth, taken out, again i think i was more scared than him. And today my middle child has been into hospital all day and had a general anaesthetic to have a stubborn tooth removed. I went to work and tried to distract myself and carry on, but it was so very difficult. By the time i got home i was in such a state of anxiety and just burst into tears as i was so worried about him. But this afternoon he was discharged and he is absolutely fine and dandy and has got a new skateboard out of it, lol. So as you can see i have been through it just lately and have got through it, somehow, and am still here to tell the tale. I haven't had any panic attacks, as such, just anxiety states though, lol. Hopefully things should calm down a bit now. I can't say that i am am anywhere near 'normal', lol, but i think i am on the way up which is good news. I see a therapist and a councellor, hopefully that will help. Still having the unreality, depersonalization, derealization, etc, but am trying to just ignore it and, finger's crossed, i think it is improving some. I do still have this awful fear of my heart and my ectopics unfortunately, but i think this too is improving a little. The show didn't help that as it promoted the state that i get scared of. I was convinced that this was it, my time was up and there was no way that my heart could keep up with that for that long and not do any damage to me. Anxiety was the biggest problem, of course, also rushing around didn't help either. But i must say that the past few days, since then, have been a little better as my brain must have recognised that if i can go through that and live, i can go through anything, lol.xx
