Hi, my name is Chris and I'm very glad I've just found this website. I had my 70th birthday last year and that seemed to be the trigger for the development of anxiety and depression. I've always had health anxiety, which for 95% of my life has been well under control, with 2 or 3 episodes in the past when it got out of control and I ended up on antidepressants, but recovered and came off them with no difficulty. This time it seems far worse and the drugs are struggling to control it - I think it's because suddenly moving from my 60s to my 70s any major illness seems a possibility! I also worry that my husband will be ill, as he had a minor heart attack 4 years ago and just recently had a minor 'vascular event', yet he has always been incredibly fit and he's a bit younger than me.
What I want to do is to just make the most of the rest of my life with my wonderful family and friends - so why can't I? :wacko:
