Hi, I have recently moved from England to Ireland (so quite a big change!) Something myself and my Husband have planned for sometime, bought the house of our dreams in a rural location (perfect!) however, we have been in Ireland for 6 months and in the house for nearly three months and my anxiety and panic are now really getting to me. I suffered from hypochondria and panic attacks when I was a teenager (I'm now 40) but have lived relatively stress free for 20 odd years and have been able to manage any anxiety on my own. This time round though my panic/anxiety is different and I'm finding it hard to manage. I feel so frustrated as we should now be living the life we have always dreamed of but I just feel like I'm going mad and I can't shake it off. I feel constantly dizzy, ears ringing, and my legs feel like they will give way, I also get overwhelming feelings of dread that make me feel flush and shake. Hate going out in public (although I force myself to do so!) as I get dizzy as soon as I'm out and don't want to make a fool of myself!
I haven't looked for professional help as yet, but will do if I need to, I just thought I would try a forum and speak to people that also suffer from anxiety as that has helped me in the past.
Has anyone else had this after a life change??
