Where do I start!!!
I've been suffering with anxiety for about 2 years now, I'm currently prescribed 10mg of Citalopram daily.
I haven't had an actual "attack" in just under a year now which is brilliant, don't get me wrong, I'm really thrilled with that. I'm just finding the day to day anxiety so so hard to cope with - I'm in floods of tears right now as I type this.
I struggle to sleep most nights with the tightness in my chest making my brain do double time. I suffer really badly with indigestion and of course this manifests itself in my chest which of course makes my crazy brain think I'm having a heart attack / stroke.
I'm having pins and needles in my hands lately and somethimes, though it's quite rare, I get what feels like a blockage in my throat and I struggle to swallow.
Will it ever get any easier? I'm not the girl I used to be, and I miss her so much. I hate having to really consiser everything before I do ANYTHING. I can't do anything anymore without worrying. Every time I go somewhere I think about where the nearest hospital is, who I'm with - Would they know what to do if I had a heart attack, do I trust them?!!
I'm just so sick of this mentality.
I feel like it's really getting me down now, I'm a shadow of my former self and I'm getting worse.
Please tell me there's light at the end of what seems to be a very very dark tunnel.
Love to all that are suffering too, I know I'm not alone and I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.
