I was reading about George Michael this morning cancelling his tour due to major anxiety - it shows even with access to probably the best care/therapy he could pay for that he is struggling with his battle and I for one wish him well. My depression and anxiety came about from a major operation in March and I certainly under estimated the impact on my mental health in the recovery phased.

It does Richard, I was reading about Jack Straw last weekend. It is a horrid illness as well as a very lonely one. I did admit at the beginning I kept thinking, if I had the moeny to give up work and go The Priory to "fix" this for 3 months I will be great. I now appreciate it has to come from within as well as support, meds, therapy, diet, breathing, yoga or whatever helps and it certainly does not happen overnight :(
Good luck on your journey :)

Thanks merlotsmum,yes its a horrid lonely illness alright one i which you have to be careful about who you confide in,i have had a couple of hiccups recently but am continuing my journey big names coming out help the cause.
I am getting really good support from the NHS could not afford the priory which ever treatment path you are on it definately has to come from within i wish you well in your recovery and no it does not happen overnight or even in months.

Yes, it's nice that celebrities don't hide this condition. Nobody should be ashamed of it.
Absolutely... we are not alone, perhaps there are even some famous faces lurking on here! :)
I also heard that JK Rowling was a severe sufferer of anxiety this weekend.
I hope everyone manages to find calmness and a happy future!!
It also proves that money is not the cure but YOU! Hence why even the rich and famous aren't immune.
