A couple of years ago I took six weeks off work through work related stress. It really messed me up for a while because I was put under impossible pressure on a multi million pound project and getting grief from the managers for slippage after they took away half my team... Hitting my head against a wall there.
So, I saw the doc when I started to get symptoms. A very brave move, but SO glad that I did. I got propranolol for the palpitations and citalopran for the and. Both were like a magic switch and I enjoyed my time off and a long and well deserved holiday.
A couple of months after returning to work in a less stressful environment, they made me redundant along with a bunch of other 'dead wood' (surprise, surprise!).
Since then, I started a successful business and have been happier than I have been for many many years.
But sometimes, and this is odd... I think back with a little fondness about my anxiety. I can't thinks why. The best I can think is that it was a pivotal time in my life and despite the pain, something very good came of it.
A little confused, but still happy...
Peace.
