Hi Everyone,
I'm new to the forum, although have been reading for a few weeks now.
I'm female, 40 and totally fed up with anxiety!
I have suffered to some degree all my life but the worst has been the last ten years where HA has crippled my life at times.
Right now I'm suffering from really bad acid reflux and stomach ache....its constant and really getting me down now. In the past year my lovely Grandad died from lung cancer. Since then I havent felt well, usually tummy issues and my anxiety is sky high again. I was with him when he got diagnosed and held his hand as he passed away six months later. At the time I was the brave one who held it all together but since he died my anxiety has taken over my life again. My doctor is great and understanding and I finally agreed to try out amytripyline. I've been on it for two weeks now and havent really noticed much difference...my acid reflux is just as bad and I'm struggling not to descend into the HA pit at the moment.
I constantly have this nagging feeling that I will get some horrible disease and die quickly. Along side all this I've been seeing a counsellor who says I have low self esteem and self worth issues.
So I'm just wanting to say hello :-) and to ask if anyone can provide support esp. on the acid reflux side.
Thank you
