yes I'm in therapy have been since I was 25y now 31 nearly 32 and still never had a proper job or learnt to drive a car as the fear has more control over than I would like. I've done volenteer work and thats been hard enough to deal with I dont know how anyone copes with working

I never knew asthma could have so fue symptom either the first thing the Dr said when he saw my son at 11mth was "he's what call a happy wezzer" he was struggling to breath but do you think I could make him want to sit still he wanted to run around and play when we got the hospital thay rushed him into emergency and I was so shocked at how many nurses and Dr's and all the equiptment that were using and how fast they were doing everything they kept saying he'll be fine but I it still had not sunk in as to what was really going on it really was not till about week later when he was prety much over his attack that it hit me and fell apart but I must of seemed like a uncaring mum while in the hospital I swear cause I was makeing jokes and laughing I think because I subconciously new it was serious and I was in fright fight or flight. I also really could not beleave that this child who was runing around and smilling and wanting to play could seriously be in resportary distress it not how I thought a child should be acting if thay cant breath. Still to this day if he gets hyperactive its most likly because he's having an asthma attack. He must be backwards like his mum lol I drank a bottle of sleeping medicine when i was very young and went hyper but I still had to have my tummy pumped. I dont remeber that I was told about.
Thanks for this!
