Yet again, I ended up at the GP yesterday, pleading for him to refer me back to the CBT team...which he thankfully agreed to do. My partner came to the GP with me this time to explain just how debilitating my HA is becoming; my partner is a constant rock and God only knows what I'd have done without her over the last few years.
Anyway, one thing I wasn't expecting was to come away from the surgery having been put on Citralopram for three months. I'm not at all sure how I feel about this as it makes me feel like I've failed to deal with things properly, plus I'm somewhat nervous about taking medication as I've never had to do so for such a prolonged period of time before.
Feel completely wiped out today, zero energy and a bit spaced. Poss due to the fact that again, I asked the doctor whether he though the symptoms I have signalled something seriously physically wrong to which he (and my partner) said not. Maybe the reassurance has made me relax a bit and that's why I feel so drained today. Maybe it's the medication. The continuing saga of health anxiety goes on...
