Hello to you all

[Jan07]

I have just joined, and so pleased to have found this site.

I have suffered with anxiety/panic for many years, it all started with my first bout of depression back in 1996. I have heard of anxiety and panic being described is a "form of mental scar" left behind kind of like a scar left from an open wound, it never goes... I can believe that because prior to my depression I never had any problems.
Everyday is a battle and the slightest thing can trigger it then it can last for weeks at a time.

I am using a herbal remedy at the moment hoping to relieve the symtoms I have been getting for a few weeks ( been though an unsettling time the last few weeks)

I hope to gain useful info on dealing with this "darkness" that comes over me arghh:weep: and meet other people going through it, so good to be able to see I am not the only one and my symtoms are not all "in my head" and imagined, I also hope I can support others when the going gets tough for them too :bighug1:

love to you all and hope you have sunny days and no clouds overhead :)

Anxiety gets to you like sometimes it's the negative thoughts , sometimes my mind over rambles and I think way beyond the here and now , it can be hard to stay focused and positive but you are lucky to have support from the important people in your life, I do tend to keep things bottled up and try to deal with it myself...maybe that is my downfall sometimes, anyway you are at good place if you are thinking of starting a family try to stay positive if you can and kick those neg thought to the curb. x
