Hi there everyone, :byebye:
I am 46 years old and have had anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and health anxiety for over half my life. It varied in intensity over the years and for the past 7 months it has been bad, so much so I am having a hard time coping with much. :weep:
I am in pre-menopause and that has added to the way I feel but I don't want to take hormones for fear of the side effects.
I take Paxil and have been on it for 12 years. It worked so well for years but for the past 7 months it barely touches my anxiety, panic, depression, and health anxiety.
I seem to have something wrong with me every day and each week it seems to be a new body part. This week it is my nose. Last week was my heart. Who knows what next week shall bring. :ohmy:
I really just want to learn how to cope and feel better so I can enjoy life and not merely exist day to day.
I am so happy to have found this place and I look forward to getting to know everyone here.
Take care,
Mich
