Hi!

Hi all!

Thanks for the add. I've been reading some of the forum posts as a guest for the past couple of weeks and I like the resources. Really helpful and encouraging. My issues are anxiety caused by waaayyyy too much stress over the past few years and not looking after myself. Had burnout/ breakdown about 5 weeks ago and slowly building up now with a healthy diet and 10mg citalopram. I'm going to say that it this has been one of the most awful yet 'for the best' experiences I've ever had.

Take care!

Welcome. It's my hope that I will get over my anxiety and also learn from going through these dark episodes. To avoid slipping back.

Hi Joe! Thanks for the welcome. That is my hope too. A part of me feels silly not recognising the signs beforehand. It was so obvious but I drove my body too hard. I plead ignorance (and part arrogance) at the time it's the slipping back which seems to be a major learning curve for me too. Will I ever learn to trust my body again?!
