I feel so pleased that I did it!

[Daisybun]

Hi everyone, i didn't want to start a new post but i felt i had to share this so that people can see that you can get on with things. many of you will know that since may i have been suffering panic and anxiety, i couldn't go to work, i didn't want to go out even and was afraid at leaving my safe zone. I resisted meds for a long time, i began to get depressed because i felt my life was over! At that point i went on citalopram, to try and get my mind into a more positive path so that i could deal with my worries and thought processes. It was tough for the first two weeks but gradually i started to feel better, I started to do more things, even though i was nervous and a little shakey. Well last week i went away to help at a kids' camp. On the Friday i was considering pulling out, my nerves were saying, you can't do that, what if.... etc. But I packed and on the sat i got up and said i can do all things through christ who strengthens me and i drove for almost 6 hours and arrived on camp. I stayed the whole week, I helped out, i sang, i cooked and i had fun, I felt like me and my confidence is returning. people were so kind and very supportive. I took on responsibilities and just felt so pleased with my achievement! A month ago i never would have thought i would make it. Thanks to all of you here who have supported me through this bad time, i hope that i can now start to deal with the issues and develop strategies that will help me to never get that low again. I have made some great friends here, you know who you are, and i can truly say i thank God for you all and this site. I'm not leaving, even though it may sound like a speech but I just wanted to use my experience to encourage others who may be feeling so rough they can't see a light at the end of the tunnel, that was me, and yet now i look forward to tomorrow again :D. It is such a privilege to be a part of this site. Thanks again all:)[Yeah!]

Take care

well done mate,

It is that voice that says you can't do things you need to float past, rewards lie at the other side of that voice so we can build on the one that says actually I can do it.

I tell people all the time that sometimes the reality is not as bad as the thought of doing something. Once you get there and start to live in the present it is amazing what you can achieve.

Again well done so happy for you.
