Hello all,
I'm new to this site but have suffered with anxiety for years. Things have been really hard for the last six weeks as i suddenly seem to have developed obsessive negative questioning in regards to my relationship of 3 years (with a wonderful man who has always made me very happy). All of a sudden i question everything, feel numb, and feel panic stricken all the time. I have been having anxiety attacks everyday, lost nearly a stone in weight and cant concentrate on anything else.
Up to this time i have been under an awful lot of pressure at work, having some issues with my parents and also in some financial difficulty. I think everything has just got on top of me and my nervous system is just completely over stimulated.
I think I could cope with anxiety about anything other then my relationship, the negative questioning that has suddenly happened has just scared the hell out of me and i now see panic at every corner and can barely leave the house.
I am having CBT - my therapist thinks the issues do not relate to my boyfriend but i must say i feel overwhelemed. I am on 10 mg of citalopram and have been for just one week now - so hoping this may also help. I just want to get my life back on track, but since i have felt so low recently it's hard to imagine. I feel almost as if i have had a breakdown, last week i did not get out of bed all week.
I have been gathering lots of strength from this site though, so thanks so much guys. Its great to know i can look at this site when i am having an episode!
