Hi, I have been suffering with anxiety for about 8 years. It has taken me this long to realize that this is what is wrong and I found it very difficult to accept/admit this. I thought for a long time that I was going mad and felt embarrassed. I am very up and down with it and currently trying herbal remedies. I do not want to take anything that my Dr prescribes yet. Does anyone have any good experiences with any herbal remedies that they have taken? I have currently taken 5 htp for a month and find it has not really helped. I have also tried lemon balm which did not help.
Sleep is very disrupted and I have tried lots of things such as warm bath, aromatherapy, milky drinks!!
I catastrophise about things everyday (not about myself but about others and work) mainly that I have made a very bad mistake and every thing is going to go wrong. I also have social anxiety fears but it is the catastrophizing that leaves me feeling very hopeless and this is what keeps me awake at night.
