Hello all,
My name is Andy and I am from Edinburgh. I've wanted to join some kind of forum like this for a while but hadn't got round to it until now. So, I suffer from generalised anxiety disorder which I used to think was just social anxiety however my doctor recently said it's probably GAD now. This is due to me not being able to switch off the feelings even when I'm at home anymore. I'm nearly 25 and have had these stress and anxiety feelings for years, I think I first noticed them when I was about 12 and they have gotten worse over the years.
I've taken sertraline in the past and I'm now trying paroxetine. I'm going to be going to counselling again in a few weeks but I'm just looking to maybe discuss some things on this forum until then and maybe after if it feels right :)
