Hi Everyone,
My name is Emma and I'm 32. I suffered from Anxiety, Panic Attacks and Depression when I was 29 and it lasted for about a year. I took Seroxat for about 6 months, went for private counselling and went on an Anxiety Management course. It all boiled down to the relationship I was in at the time as I was continually stressed through arguing. He was a pain in the backside to live with so I was always on edge and it took it's toll on me in the end. I left that relationship and met a wonderful man, got a new job and started a course at college studying towards a professional qualification.
Life has been great since then, up until recently when my symptoms have started to creep back. I have been under a lot of stress as I am been made redundant. I have been for numerous job interviews and now have a new job to start in July. I have had exams at college last week and I am also getting married at the end of July. Although these are all positive factors I feel that the stress of it all has caused me to burn out. I have constant tension headaches and have started to feel panicky and anxious again. Now that I know the signs I am determined to nip it in the bud but feel that I am on the verge of that slippery slope.
Sorry for the long waffle of my life history but I am hoping that I can find advice from you guys and also hoping that I can offer advice to anybody else.
Cheers
Emma
