Hi - found this site after looking up info on anxiety - have recently been diagnosed with anxiety and 'mild depression' following a period of poor sleeping and worrying over things that don't need worrrying about (I see it cleary but that doens't stop the worrying!).
I have Type 1 diabities which requires a lot of care and effort but still results in me feeling rubbish a lot despite my best efforts (blood sugars hard to get stable) which has started to get me down - seems to manifest itself in worrying about things at work and other bits and bobs (it's crazy as I'm doing ok at work, I know I am, everyone says I am, but my confidence is low). I think the worrying/stress affect the diabities and the diabities casues the worry so it's a circle.
I've been perscribed sleeping pills (these are great!) and Citropram. I have taken it (CP) for 4 days and felt ok but have a real issue with relying on pills - I didn't take one today and tonight the worry has come back - but I don't know if that is a result of not taking the Citropram as I understand it is too early for it to have any affect. So I'm going to see how I feel over the next 2/3 days without it. At some point the pills need to stop so surely it's best to avoid them in the first place....
Everything is a bit strange as I really have lots to be happy and pround about so no reason for low confidence or worry but there it is all the same.
I can see that this site is going to be massively helpful.
Thanks for reading!:)
