Hi everyone.
Have been struggling with GAD for a few years but have been reading this forum for a couple of weeks. I have been finding it a real help to know I am not alone with this condition. At the moment things are worse than usual as I went through a redundancy situation just before Xmas and although I have a new job the stress levels are much higher than I am used to. I can't relax at all and have been put on propanolol for the physical symptoms like shaking, palpitations, and sweating. I am also on citalopram. Anxiety feels like it is taking me over and I am desparate to feel normal again. I had CBT last year but did not find it helpful. I have no idea where to turn and any advice or support would be amazing. Thanks.
