Are you nervous when you are at home?

i have been like that but i found taking citalopram has helped that but i still do from time to time like tonight i feel on edge x

[Izzie2494]

i never used to be nervous at home but recently yes i am, are you? I am on day 2 of citalopram hope it works!! x

I'm not nervous at home, but just feeling low at the moment, I've been taking Citalopram for 3 months now, I think its helped me. I'm just going through a bad patch.

Hope Cit works for you!

yeh hun i used to just have panic attacks when was out as soon as i walked in home all that anxiety dissapered but gradually i just felt anxious constantly i think the citalopram will really help you they did me and i didnt think they would it took a few weeks but they definitley took the edge of it and i didnt dread everything so much x

[Izzie2494]

Yes I was like that! Looking forward to feeling a bit more normal hope cit works! X

Strangely I struggle most with anxiety at home. When I'm busy I'm ok, but when the stress and business of work is over at 5 and I need to settle I really struggle!

I had some terrible panic attacks at the end of last year. I'm so much better now x x

[Izzie2494]

glad you are better! Yes at home I find I over think things more xx

hi Izzie , i read something on NMP last night. its about being at home and mind wondering to allsorts,which mine does,,,,, , it helped to read that if you can bake a cake or do something constuctive youre mind cant think 2 things at once . I actually thought lets give it a go so harder to pull my act together to get up and do it , but i actualy made super , sausage,egg, beans ,bacon and chips for the family , i couldnt face eating it mind but i was wrapped up into not frying the egg to musch i got exhausted by it all and slumped on the chair wanting a glass of wine ..not the best approach , but felt i accomplished something , i even slept all night ....my challenge today , clean my sons room ....eeek !! xx

Hmmm one word - shocking!

Even when ive got better I know that this might not last and at the minute I'm having a dip & it is just one of the nastiest conditions/illnesses I think anyone can have! It doesn't just affect your head and your body it affects your job, your social and family life - horrendous.
