Hi, never been on one of these sites before but I think it can only help. I have been suffering with anxiety for about a year now. Started when my daughter had a bad case of hives at beginning of last year that lasted for two months, doctor made a remark about underlying causes and I havent been the same since. I just went into panic mode convinced there was something horribly wrong with her, she had blood test and all was ok, but by this time I was really bad. I was put on Citalopram for about 10 months and came off them just before Christmas. I was ok at first but things are getting really bad again. Firstly a chance remark about me from a nurse made me convinced I had something awful, then my daughter has had a couple of infections and I have been paranoid about her again. She has had more blood test, which again were fine, but now I have started to worry about my younger daughter. Every small thing she says just sends me into panic. I am waking in the morning with a feeling of dread which keeps coming back throughout the day. We have lost a family member through cancer and a family I know lost their young daughter to cancer last year. I think this is at the back of my mind all the time and I cant shake it. Sorry its a long introduction!
