Vanessa Unsworth was 37 when nightmares and panic attacks started to plague her nights and days .
She was living a living a seemingly well-balanced life , with a steady job , family and a network of good friends .
But each morning , the former marketing manager would wake up shaking so hard she could not lift her arms , clenching her teeth so hard her jaw was fixed .
Anxieties and unknown traumas were causing terror in her sleep , manifesting in vivid , recurring dreams .

In her dreams , she would bite him , only to wake and find herself biting her duvet , at the moment of being 'grabbed ' .
Vanessa 's symptoms became so overwhelming that she became suicidal .
But after an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ life , she 's set out to raise awareness about the hidden health issues which can claim lives , as she gains understanding of her own symptoms .
`` The nightmares are a way of my brain trying to process emotions and feelings - my memories trying to come out '' , she said .
`` I have emotional flashbacks .
If someone is shouting , I will shut down or my instinct is to block everything .
`` It is a survival technique .
It is when you recover that feeling .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ do n't see anything in the room .
You have to stop and have a moment . ''
It was in 2017 , while watching the Invictus Games , that Vanessa understood her nightmares and panic attacks as an indications of a mental health issue like post-traumatic stress disorder .
`` A medic who worked in Afghanistan said they experienced symptoms 10 years later .
`` I burst into tears - that 's what has happened to me , '' Vanessa said .
She was diagnosed with dissociative disorder , a mental health @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Except in her case , medics have not been able to pinpoint what sparked Vanessa 's trauma .
In the long wait for treatment , in which she felt 'passed from pillar ' to post , the nightmares intensfied .
Feeling alone and like there was no help out there , Vanessa made an attempt on her own life in August 2018 , which she woke up from .
`` I was lying there thinking am I alive or am I dead , did I die and this is the second world @ @ @ @ @ @ @ months later , with no improvement in her health or hope that anyone could help her get better , she found herself at her lowest ebb again .
A visit from a police officer , when her welfare sparked concern , put her on the road to recovery .
`` That was the turning point - that is what I wanted , all I needed was that person saying 'let me help you ' , '' Vanessa said .
Following on from that moment Vanessa is using her experiences and background in a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ same thing .
She is no longer working in marketing , instead she is volunteering to give talks to frontline responders , like police negotiators , on approaching and helping suicidal people .
Vanessa is also planning to launch a charity to stop those people who fall through the net get the help they need , and campaigning to get people talking about mental health more .
She believes that while waiting lists for NHS provision are long , people should be encouraged to seek help from charities .

Vanessa Unsworth was 37 when nightmares and panic attacks started to plague her nights and days.
She was living a living a seemingly well-balanced life, with a steady job, family and a network of good friends.
But each morning, the former marketing manager would wake up shaking so hard she could not lift her arms, clenching her teeth so hard her jaw was fixed.
Anxieties and unknown traumas were causing terror in her sleep, manifesting in vivid, recurring dreams.
"One nightmare is trying to get to somebody in time and then they get killed", Vanessa, of Stockport, said:
"Or somebody is hurt and I'm trying to get them away to safety."
Sometimes Vanessa, now 40, saw herself as a child, frightened of a man coming towards her.
In her dreams, she would bite him, only to wake and find herself biting her duvet, at the moment of being 'grabbed'.
Vanessa's symptoms became so overwhelming that she became suicidal.
But after an encounter with a police officer saved her life, she's set out to raise awareness about the hidden health issues which can claim lives, as she gains understanding of her own symptoms.
"The nightmares are a way of my brain trying to process emotions and feelings - my memories trying to come out", she said.
"I have emotional flashbacks. If someone is shouting, I will shut down or my instinct is to block everything.
"It is a survival technique. It is when you recover that feeling. Or you can zone out and you don't see anything in the room. You have to stop and have a moment."

It was in 2017, while watching the Invictus Games, that Vanessa understood her nightmares and panic attacks as an indications of a mental health issue like post-traumatic stress disorder.
"A medic who worked in Afghanistan said they experienced symptoms 10 years later.
"I burst into tears - that's what has happened to me," Vanessa said.
She was diagnosed with dissociative disorder, a mental health condition caused by a traumatic life event.
Except in her case, medics have not been able to pinpoint what sparked Vanessa's trauma.
In the long wait for treatment, in which she felt 'passed from pillar' to post, the nightmares intensfied.
Feeling alone and like there was no help out there, Vanessa made an attempt on her own life in August 2018, which she woke up from.

"I was lying there thinking am I alive or am I dead, did I die and this is the second world?," she said.
Ten months later, with no improvement in her health or hope that anyone could help her get better, she found herself at her lowest ebb again.
A visit from a police officer, when her welfare sparked concern, put her on the road to recovery.
"That was the turning point - that is what I wanted, all I needed was that person saying 'let me help you'," Vanessa said.
Following on from that moment Vanessa is using her experiences and background in a bid to help others going through the same thing.
She is no longer working in marketing, instead she is volunteering to give talks to frontline responders, like police negotiators, on approaching and helping suicidal people.

Vanessa is also planning to launch a charity to stop those people who fall through the net get the help they need, and campaigning to get people talking about mental health more.
She believes that while waiting lists for NHS provision are long, people should be encouraged to seek help from charities.
"When I have spoken to people they don't know there are four mental health charities in Stockport", she said.

For Vanessa, learning skills to deal with panic attacks, while waiting for trauma therapy, has helped.
Another positive presence in Vanessa's life is a rescue dog, named Teddy.
The seven-month old puppy was rescued from Romania and Vanessa is now training him up to become a therapy dog.
Other ideas she has had include setting up a text message support service, or something similar to the 'Ask Angela' campaign - where women at risk of sexual assault could use a code word for help - but for those struggling with mental health instead.
She is hoping other people will get involved in the campaign for more community-based solutions and is asking for anyone interested to get in touch via her LinkedIn page.
Vanessa said: "My message to anybody going through this is to hang on.
"People are trying to make it better. Reach out, the more case studies there is the more this is going to work."

Holly Willoughby has spoken about equality as she paid tribute to her daughter.
The This Morning star took to Instagram on International Women's Day to tell her "little Belle" how "inspired" she is by her.
Holly is mum to Harry, ten, Belle, eight, and Chester, five, who she shares with her husband, Dan Baldwin.
The 39-year-old is known for keeping her family life very private but will often share rare glimpses into life as a mum.
Posting a photo of Belle, who was facing away from the camera as she looked out to the sea on holiday, Holly said: "Take those dreams little Belle and know things are changing... An equal world is a more enabled world...
"It's all in your grasp... I am inspired by the girl I watch grow everyday and am honoured to guide you and support you as you become the amazing woman I know you will be...," before tagging the post with the hashtag #internationalwomensday.
The post has been flooded with comments from Holly's 6.4m Instagram followers.
One said: "She will turn into an incredible little lady as she is already because she has an amazing woman like you guiding her! Happy international women’s day to the both of you."
"That's a role model! Words from one wonderful woman to a future wonderful woman," said another.
A third praised: "Beautiful words for a beautiful and inspirational woman Holly. Your daughter will most definitely be a force to reckon with as she grows. Well done to you."
Holly has previously hit back at the 'mummy brigade' who criticise her for working full-time and having a nanny to look after her children.
She said: "I don't think women can win.
"Working mums and stay-at-home mums get a tough time. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't.
"You just have to do what’s right for you and not listen to what the mummy brigade say."

themanchestereveningnews--2020-03-08--The proper country inn that's a stone's throw from Bury

The village of Affetside is tiny , a few neat houses dotted along one long country lane , with one excellent pub right in the middle of it all .
The Pack Horse is a country inn worth travelling to - from the outside are views across windswept fields , while inside there are fireplaces , flagstones , and a grand dining room with a vaulted ceiling and old monk seats around the walls .
On a Sunday afternoon its warren of nooks and crannies are all crawling with customers .
The place is packed with well-behaved dogs too .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ tucked beneath tables until the French bulldog at the table next to us starts growling in our direction .
I glance over my shoulder and notice a woman dressed top-to-toe in grey fur - hat , scarf , coat , bag , the works .
A chorus of barking follows what must look , to dogs , like an unnerving bipedal hound as she heads to her table , while the staff try to suppress their smiles .
This place is love at first sight , truthfully - but does the food live @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Pack Horse has a tapas-style offering for starters , priced at £4.95 each , or available en masse for less .
We choose three different starters ( £13.25 ) to share around the table - the star of which is the chorizo and manchego croquettes , salty and creamy on the inside with a deep golden breadcrumb around the outside .
There 's also a pot of molten brie with caramelised onions , which is ... well , it 's melted cheese , you ca n't possibly go wrong here .
Completing the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ garlic crostini , finished off with forks once the crisp breads run out .
It 's Sunday roasts all round for our group , including a duo of roast meat ( £13.95 ) for those who think choosing between beef and turkey is too torturous .
The beef is sliced thin and flushed with a rosy pinkness , while the turkey - often the driest , blandest meat seen outside an elephant 's graveyard - is buttery and moist .
They come with ramekins of correlating condiment without us having to ask , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to do , and the horseradish in particular is punchy perfection .
For vegetarians , it 's a squash , spinach and sweet potato pastry parcel ( £12.75 ) in place of meat .
The pastry is excellent , its egg wash giving it a healthy sheen , but the filling is sparse .
I spread butter on my toast more generously than they 've spread squash in here .
On the side of all the roasts is sweet , peppery braised red cabbage , swede mash , green beans , and roast @ @ @ @ @ @ @ inside and soft around the edges than I 'd like .
Yorkshire puddings are heaven-sent , scalloped edges floating above greasy bottoms , just how they should be .
We douse the lot in the Pack Horse 's homemade gravy , which is so good we ask for extra helpings - they deliver a full gravy boat to the table , and despite laughing at the size at first , we polish the lot off .
The Pack Horse changes its crumble ( £5.50 ) regularly according to the seasons and whatever 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
On our visit , it 's an apple and ginger filling beneath a light crumble , with a luminous yellow vanilla custard on the side .
The ginger hits hard , a sinus-clearing spice that sets your nostrils tingling and warms the cheeks .
On a frosty day where we 've already had to de-ice the car twice , it 's a real winner .
Apples are fresher and have more bite in the excellent apple pie ( £3.95 ) , gently layered between shortcrust pastry that droops at its point .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( £4.95 ) that 's so heavy it would sink to the bottom of the ocean quicker than a rock - this is no bad thing .
The fudgy suet pudding is freshened up with a tangy jam throughout and yet more of that super sweet , viscous custard .
You can , but it 's not the cheapest pub for beers .
A pint of Moretti comes in a whisker short of a fiver , while a Maltsmiths IPA is £4.58 .
Hydes has a strong presence all round , including the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on a Monday , the Pack Horse knocks 50p off all Hydes cask ales .
There 's also a decent gin range , including Manchester Gin at £4.12 .
Are you being served ?
Hands down , these are some of the friendliest , most on-the-ball waiters working in any pub in Greater Manchester .
They never miss a beat , engaging with children and making a fuss of all the pets who have come in - and this is on a seriously busy Sunday afternoon .
Service at the bar is a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of people clustered around it waiting for a table , it 's easily forgiven .
Our bill comes to £111.94 - not cheap , but not unreasonable when you consider we 've had three courses and an alcoholic drink each .
There 's a cheaper option available if you come for lunch during the week .
The lunch menu includes dishes like a black pudding and bacon stack on the starters , a seafood basket on the mains , and Belgian waffles for dessert , priced at £11.95 for two courses or £13.95 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ roly-poly good , meat good - and now that I 've got my Friends reference out of the way , I have a confession to make .
This might just be my new favourite pub in Greater Manchester .
