What makes you think you have a tumour or will drop down dead?

I am sorry you are feeling so bad at the moment. It sometimes takes a little longer than a month for the citalopram to work but if you don't think it is helping you them maybe you should speak to your doctor about it. Your doctor might also be able to refer you for therapy and reassure about not having a brain tumour. :hugs::hugs:

Hi wilky and :welcome:

I know the feeling only too well and I sympathize. It`a a horrible feeling. I have a 23 year old and I still worry how he will cope if something happened to him. His dad died of cancer and he found it really hard to cope. My son was only 16 and an only child. We never stop worrying about them.

Keep telling yourself you will not drop down dead. That you will be ok. I know it`s not easy, but it is your anxiety and you will be ok. Try listening to some relaxation videos on you,tube.

What ages are your sons wilky.

Are you going for any CBT .
