nervous and new

[maz]

I am new to this site, I have been diagnosed with depression and my GP diagnosed me with citalopram 20 mg 3 weeks ago. The anxiety is high. I cannot now leave the house without having a panic attack which has is now resulting in me vomiting in front of everybody in the street. My best friend lost her son to cancer in May, he was 31, a good friend and I had known him all his life. I helped my friend nurse him at home (he did not want to go to hospital). This meant that I took a lot of time from work and eventually I had no choice but to leave my job. I was ok at first and then horrible thoughts kept coming into my head. I am terrified that one of my children will become ill or my husband will become ill. I feel horrible things happening to me inside. I shake and tremble all the time now. I cant sleep at night but can sleep all day. I had a good job now I forget what I doing and the confusion makes me scared. I find it hard to read the paper. I feel self indulgent, useless and guilty. And I go on and on and on and on as you can see. I bore myself.
regards to you all

Thanks,

It does feel good to know that there is an outlet. I usually find that writing things down helps but for some reason I have clammed up. Thankyou

Hi Maz you are not boring , useless and self indulgent you have been wonderful friend in a difficult and testing situation - there are not many people who could have coped like you did, and what an impact it had on your life, having to leave your job... I feel for you I really do Maz - my anxiety started when someone close to me died - the medication I was given took about 6 weeks to kick in and I got myself to a CBT counsellor as quickly as I could. It helped me manage all the weird thoughts and feelings and symptoms I was having. Keep visiting this site there is lots of help and good advice here. PM me anytime if you want. Love Alison

I saw her once, one little while, and then no more:
’Twas Eden’s light on Earth a while, and then no more.
Amid the throng she passed along the meadow-floor:
Spring seemed to smile on Earth awhile, and then no more;
But whence she came, which way she went, what garb she wore
I noted not; I gazed a while, and then no more!
