HOPE

[finny12000]

HI all
im back after about a year away from forum
last year i thought there was no escape from anxiety
combined with depression but mainly anxiety.
ive came back here to say there is hope im not cured tottaly
but im a hell of a lot better.
it took a nervous breakdown and 4 weeks in hospital
for the docs to realise what was happening to me
and give me the proper medication instead of a script
and hop it.combined with anxiety classes ect ive coped
this year with my dads death my grans death and my nephew
whom i looked after being seriously assaulted to the danger of his life at
age 16....after many diff tablets they tried me on trazadone at night
which helped my sleeping and anxiety levels during day.the classes
were also invaluable to me as now i realise when anxiety levels are on rise and dont dwell on them but go with flow ...i can help my thoughts now ,which last year i certainly couldnt not mainly because i wasnt trained in thoughts ,what to do to change them ect.
so anyone thinking i will never get better,its hopeless ect
i promise it isnt and eventually you will turn things round it just takes time im a living example of that
i thought i would come back to give hope

i cant believe its july 2008 already lol well i thought time to go
to nomorepanic and give them a update on me hehe
im working now also caring for my mum since my dad died as shes had
2 strokes and cant get about like she used to
been in a relationship for nearly three years and im back to say as previous that anxiety can be beaten and theres light at end of tunnel.
last three years have been hard but now i feel thankful for little things and if ive had a good day im overjoyed ,if anxiety comes back for a day or a week i now think well i had a good week last week i will again next week and try not to dwell on it to much,same with sleep same with life ,in the beginning it was constant and like many ppl on here i thought theres no escape but there is and things will get better in time ....as i said before anyone wants advice a chat get in touch by private message

What a inspirational post!:hugs:

Well done for recognising that you weren't well and having the determination to fight. It's great to hear that you were able to tell family and friends and go to the Drs to up your medication.

You have come such a long way since being in hospital and certainly have a lot to be proud of, especially holding down a job and having a relationship.

Congratulations to both you and your partner, I'm sure you will both make wonderful parents!

Please keep us updated.
take care xxxx:hugs:

Hi,

I think it is fantastic that someone can take the time to come back and post their story. More so when you've had so many other trials go on in your life to knock your spirit. I honestly don't think there is anything else like it to change someone's mood. If you are anxious, down and feel like you will never get better then nothing other than a thread like this one can make you realise otherwise. And how priceless is that?

Thanks again. I wish you well in the future.

All the best

[finny12000]

Thank you nechtan
when i was down and nearly out i found nmp
and it helped me enormously and i decided that whenever in day to day life or on forums i could help or make a difference i would because others did for me.i have followed that path now and as ive previousy stated any member feels like i did, major anxieties ect im always available to help them with what route i followed as once we all find some peace isnt it our duty to help others achieve that and thats why post was called hope because there is hope for all.

[Nechtan]

Credit to you.

I can't help thinking if there was a book filled with these kind of stories it would be a great thing to have at hand when we feel down and/or hopeless. The stories are very uplifting and have a positive effect on people reading them.

All the best
