here we go again but more to lose

[Sunshine84]

Hi everyone,ive been suffering with anxiety/panic for 8 years and had various meds/councelling in the past. Whilst pregnant i weened myself off citalopram and ive been med free for 1 year. However, last few month been awful+got to point im terrified of everything. Lost over a stone in weight, cant eat/sleep/concentrate and feel im letting my 1 year old down. Went to docs+been back on citalopram 10mg 5 days ago but feel worse! I am counting the minutes down for the day/night to pass but dont want to feel like this.
Would love to chat to some like minded people who.may help. Thanks.

Thankyou april. Managed to get out the house, got near the park then felt panicly so came back for the car. Safety net. Bit disappointed i didnt quite make it walking but made it driving so at least my daughter got a swing.nice to hear from people

Don't be disappointed, praise yourself for getting there :) Hopefully the medication will kick in in a few weeks and you will start to feel better. Don't beat yourself up though...praise yourself for doing the things you can and don't worry about what you can't. You will get there.

Thankyou annie0904 that means alot. I get so frustrated with myself for feeling like this so i will try and take your advice.....roll on the meds kicking in! Weeks seem like a lifetime at the minute. Hope you are doing ok.

I am doing really well at the moment, just have to keep positive :) Little blips come and go but that's all they are 'blips' :)

[Sunshine84]

I like the way you talk annie and hopefully soon i can comfortably see 'blips' and will be able to acknowledge them and move on...got to keep searching for light

[Annie0904]

There is always light at the end of the tunnel :)
