Hi all, I'm a 23 year old female from Glasgow, Scotland. I've been on this forum quite a lot over the last couple of weeks, and decided that maybe it was time to see if posting, and not just lurking, might be able to help me.
I've been on and off anti depressants/ in and out of GP surgeries and mental health clinics (all outpatient facilities) since I was 15.
At the moment, I am really struggling with anxiety, and anger issues that I had previously thought I had overcome. I'm currently on citalopram (only 10mg to try to tackle the anxiety) and have been prescribed diazepam (2mg) which I am
only using when I feel that I really can't cope. I definitely feel that the diazepam dosage could be upped but I'm going to see how I get on with them for now. I'm also waiting to get set up for regular talking sessions, they've helped in the past so I'm optimistic.
Anyway, I'm sure I'll end up posting my whole life story soon enough (nothing too interesting I'm afraid).
Take care,
Beth
