Glorious day, so decided a trip up me 'ill was called for.
I nearly didn't make it. Felt positively wretched, and had to make several stops on the way up.
Legs like jelly, kept stumbling over the rocks, and me 'eart was thumping like hell. Out of breath and generally felt totally crap.
What the hell is wrong with me?
I'm currently feeling very unhappy with meself like. sad32:

There is something going round the pub. You may have caught it off TMR rubschin:
-
Overdose of those tablets that I'm not even going to attempt to spell - but have meant that at least you haven't had a cold
Seriously though....you might need to go and see someone more qualified than our motley crew noooo:
-
No it's not a bug thing. I don't feel unwell as such, just sort of wretched, as though me mind is in turmoil which seems to be affecting me favourite pastime now. Making me very unhappy like. Feel most odd. confused:

A Panic attack is an intense feeling of fear, a feeling of impending doom. Sufferers may feel that they are going crazy or that they are on the verge of a heart attack. Panic attacks may feel terrifying at the time, but they are not dangerous, they are just a flow of adrenalin surging through your body. Adrenalin is the cause of the symptoms you feel, like dizziness, racing heart, feelings of unreality, feeling out of control, hyperventilation and many others.
You may feel like you will collapse or faint, but you will not. As you can see no reason for these feelings, you presume something terrible will happen if you don't make a quick exit. This is the reason that panic attacks can terrify people, as they have no idea why they feel like this. They may blame it on the place they were at the time, a cafe or maybe the cinema.
There have been many studies carried out about the cause of panic disorders and although the results are still inconclusive, in my experience and the studies of others, the main cause is due to a prolonged feeling of worry and stress. The worry cup fills up over time until it overflows and manifests itself into a full blown panic attack. There can be other factors like a childhood event, emotional or physical abuse or, as in my case, substance withdrawal. But whatever the cause, recovery from any form of panic is possible with the right help and support.
The scary part for most people is that these feelings of panic don’t seem to come when they are in a situation of danger, these feelings can come at any time of the day for no apparent reason. Unfortunately, what can keep people in the cycle of panic is the fear of having another attack and the avoidance that can go with it. They may have an attack of panic while driving and then associate driving with panic, thus avoiding getting back behind the wheel. In a few cases, people may retreat indoors as they believe that by doing this, they can avoid all the situations that may bring on an attack of panic

Bloody 'ell Pirate! eeek:
You a quack? Seem to know your stuff like.
Don't think it could really be described as what you say tbh. Just feeling a bit down and knackered is the best description. Dunno really. confused:
Feel like a flamin' dog chasing its tail. evil:
-
Hi Growler...NO I am not a quack or even a doctor. It was just a bit of lighted hearted cut and paste.
Please, if you don't feel well, go and see your GP

Unhappily I can confirm that your Google cut and paste is only too accurate. I can add that a panic attack can feel exactly as Growler describes he felt and can be associated with Agoraphobia. Agoraphobia is not repeat NOT a fear of being out of doors ~ it is a feeling of acute fear of not being in control of what is happening around you and a perceived inability to escape the situation. It can strike as easily in your arm chair as it can out of doors although it is easier to cope with at home or in familiar surroundings. I can and do get such attacks when in a shop or when sitting in a pub. My escape is to go and sit in my car where I feel completely at ease ~ Valium anyone? I have plenty to spare.
Go see your quack and at least get an ECG (preferably before and after a treadmill session) done to check that all is well with your heart. It probably is OK but the reassurance of seeing it checked will help.

It is a familiar scenario, that is true
-
HAve we frightened him off?

Prolly gone to the doctor.
PS You seem to have caught the dreaded Nick Syndrome ~ symptoms include an inability to take your finger off the caps key quickly enough.

I've started to do that too! scared2:
The spelling checker in Firefox points it out tho... whistle:

I can't use the spell checker or I get messages from "Admin" asking me why I am using it surrender:

It wasn't why it was the amount of time you spend using it! redface:

It's alzheimers spellchecker symdrome - eeek:
-
OK I'll answer all three:
BM ~ It had nothing to do with the spell checker or Firefox as Miss Wenchy's blushing features will have now revealed.
Miss D ~ nothing to do with loss of memory either
Wenchy now knows that I am teasing her because she PMd to ask why I was so long using the spell checker the other day. The reason, as I explained, was that I was spell checking a longish post and the phone rang. I simply picked up the phone and ignored the PC for some time thus leaving myself still "checking" the post. When I finally got rid of the caller I corrected the spelling mistakes and posted the item.
SO ~ one and all~ the equipment is fine, both Firefox and my memory, the spell checker works dandy on both Firefox and M/Soft and I will not talk on the phone in future before logging off site. OK?
-
But then what will we have to talk about ... cry:
Who were you talking to on the phone eyes:
-
Or more importantally who were you talking about?
-
I was talking about "Participatory Budgeting" with a member of the local council.

-
oh come on now.......good cover story but we want soemthing much more interesting than that eyes:
-
Sorry but the truth is the truth. My life consists of such disappointments.
But on the bright side at least YOU know what PB is.
-
You may have been talking about Personal Best's (PB) - but I will choose to believe these were much more interesting than you claim eyes:
-
Participatory Budgeting is a process, encouraged by NuLabour, under which local authorities may "ring fence" an amount of the moneys gathered by them from us and put it aside for projects suggested by and voted on by the local residents. The projects that receive most votes at a public meeting are the ones that get done whilst the others are forgotten. It has a tendancy to bring out every one legged, black, hook handed, Irish travelling lesbian group in your district with some madcap scheme that will benefit only them. Thus the rules when a local council decides to participate have to be tightly drawn in the beginning and then the qualifications for spending drawn even tighter. In other words it has to be rigged or you end up spending the council tax on a load of crap at the expense of more essential services. That is what we were discussing ~ in particular how best to arrange the democratically arrived at result without leaving our own finger prints all over the ballot box. OK now?
-
I am only pulling your leg lol:
We have the same here - though they are called Individual budgets . each Cllr has a £100k to spend on their ward on schemes that warrant it (ALLEDGELY )
-
Yeah we have those too but PB is supposed to be decided by the residents. It has been trialed in a number of places apparently and since the WAG have now said they will put some extra money on the table our local council have jumped in to grab what they can.
In Denbighshire the Individual Budgets to be spent at the discretion of the County Councilor in his/her ward is £10,000 pa but then we have very few people and even fewer businesses paying business rates here.

(i) it had been corrected before you got your post up

(iii) nobody loves a smartarse razz:
Anywhoo there it is ~ all in the Medical Centre ~ 'cos it is a sickening example of Nulabour shite.
