Suffered in silence

[Fennizzle]

Well where do I start? My name is Andy and I'm a serving soldier. For the past 8 years i have suffered what I have been told is an anxiety disorder. I have mood swings ranging from unbelievably happy to the lowest of the lows, nothing inbetween, I'm scared something is horrendously wrong with me, I feel like I don't want to go or do anything with my young family and I live with a constant fear of dread. I am on medication and have spoken to the mental health people but through deployment I have not been seen in over 18 months. So that's my hello, I'm not all doom and gloom though ha ha ha just need like minded people to help me through really. Cheers

Anthea_115 thanks for the reply. I just want to try everything I can to try and feel better. I feel as if this is going to go on forever and I can't have that can I ha ha. I'm sure talking to people with similar experiences will help though. Thanks again
