Hello I'm new and nervous

[jelly2010]

Hi all,
I've been battling depression for a couple of years and things were really improving for me until I received some distressing news in Feb. Since then I have been experiencing horrific anxiety attacks and have been put back on fluroxetine but so far I'm getting no relief. I am also seeing a counsellor.

I guess I'm feeling very alone and like there's no way out of my dark feelings so came across this forum when trying to find some help.

I hope to be able to help others too.

Take care, Jelly x

Wishing you the best

Hi Jelly

Good to hear from you and you cant be alone as we are talking.

Im not sure how we use this site as I am new to postings and very old !!

Hi Ginge,

Thanks for your reply and for saying I'm not alone.
I'm not 100% sure with how the posts work either - I'm sure we'll both figure it out soon. I think anyone can see what you put so yes open to all.

Thanks all for responding - I'm sorry you struggle with the hell of anxiety/panic attacks/depression etc but I'm sure you'll agree it's good to know we aren't the only ones.

I'm new as well and feel great having people to talk to about this - well actually people who understand what it is. I'm on day 1 of prozac so expect I'll be needing a fair bit of help and advice over the coming weeks!
