I'm suffering from anxiety at the moment and have done for a while. I dont really understand it, so I hope by talking to others i'll be able to pick up some tips and pass on some that I may know :)


Um a bit of background info I've kinda had bad anxiety for the past year, but after talking to a counciller at uni she thinks some things I have experienced it since I was younger. Certaintly only in the past year has it started ruining my life~
Its a constant thing for me, with rare one or two days where I may not worry or experience symptoms. My doctor has tried giving me citalopram <which i freaked out over taking> and propanalol. But i'm not very good with taking meds so he took me off them.. currently waiting to hear about CBT? Think it may be a better route for me, who knows I just want to feel like me again.
I guess I would describe my anxiety as health anxiety with a bit of claustraphobia mixed in too.

In truth, it would just be good to talk to others who expeirience this too
