“I first visited Eileen 6 months ago and I was suffering very badly with anxiety, panic attacks and maybe depression was setting in too. I’m a single mother, I’ve had a lot of grief and loss of family and friends in my life and I had recently lost my job. I couldn’t eat, sleep, go outside and most days even brushing my teeth was a task.
With my panic attacks, I had difficulty breathing, I could hear my heart beating so fast, I had knots in my stomach and I was shaking. Heart palpitations were almost constant and I had at least one panic attack a day. I was living in major fear of having a heart attack.
