Hi
After a few weeks of looking at this site and the posts, I've finally plucked up the courage to post myself.
My name is Jon and Im 32. I've been suffering quite badly with anxiety and panic attacks over the past few months to the point that I am now off work and barely leaving the house. After a few visits to the Doctors and blood tests etc, I went back and was given Propranolol and then last week, I went back and I was given Citalopram 20mg. I have now been on both for a week. I am also going for an initial screening appointment for counselling tommorrow, which i am really nervous about.
I have found it quite reassuring, in a way, reading posts on here, It has made me realise that I am certainly not alone with the horrible symptoms and feelings associated with anxiety.
Jon :)
