Need to tell someone

[Down and out]

I have been suffering with really bad anxiety for the last year and some days it really gets me down , I was put on. Citalipram back in November and the first few weeks were really bad and I didn't think I could carry on , here I am six months later and I'm still going , there has been some good times and some really low times but my anxiety seems to be with me all the time and I haven't had a day where I feel it's not there , always second guessing myself and thinking and dwelling on what I'm going through , I have 3 children and keep making excuses for why I can't do things with them .

Every one thinks I'm doing so well as I put on a brave face and say I'm fine but as time goes on I'm starting to loose faith in myself and just want it all to go away .

I told my wife I am struggling a little at moment but haven't told her the full story of what I'm going through as I don't want her to get upset again , work is getting hard work again and don't know how much longer I can put this front on for ,

Thanks for listening

I went to see doctor last week for review but I messed us and put game face on , I told her it's still hard work most days and I'm not doing to well but didn't let out the whole story about how I'm doing , gad is a horrible feeling and guess I just need some reassurance but not sure who to turn to .
